[Embodiment] 7 200908521 A detailed description of some embodiments of the present invention is as follows, however, the present invention can be widely applied to other embodiments in addition to the detailed description. That is, the scope of the present invention is not limited by the embodiments which have been proposed, and the scope of the claims of the present invention shall prevail. Further, in order to provide a clearer description and a better understanding of the present invention, the various parts of the drawings are not drawn according to their relative dimensions, and some dimensions have been exaggerated compared to other related dimensions; the unrelated details are not Completely drawn, in order to simplify the illustration. The following is a detailed description of the present invention, first referring to the second figure. The second figure shows a digital multi-channel piezoelectric ceramic converter 200 in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. In various embodiments, the digital multi-channel piezoelectric ceramic inverter 200 of the present embodiment can be different. Replacement of digital multi-channel piezoelectric inverters made of materials. The main components of the digital multi-channel piezoelectric ceramic inverter 200 include a digital control circuit 210, a piezoelectric ceramic transformer group 220, and a luminescence/monitoring group 230. It should be noted that although the light-emitting elements in the illumination/monitoring group 230 of the present figure are represented by cold cathode fluorescent tubes, the practical application is not limited to the cold cathode fluorescent tubes, and the digital type of the present invention. Multi-channel piezoelectric ceramic inverters can be applied to other light-emitting components, such as External Electrode Fluorescent Lamps (EEFLs), energy-saving lamps, and the like. 8 200908521 Still referring to the second figure, with reference to the drawings, the circuit workflow description of the present invention is made in the following description. First, a driving square wave signal of a specific frequency is generated by the digital control circuit 210 to be transmitted to the piezoelectric ceramic transformer group 220. The piezoelectric ceramic transformer group 220 is composed of a driving element and a piezoelectric ceramic transformer, wherein the driving element can be any electronic switching device having a pushing load capability, such as a metal oxide half field effect transistor (M0SFET) 221 of the present figure. After receiving the driving square wave signal, the driving component 221 generates a high-voltage, high-current square wave signal to the piezoelectric ceramic transformer 222 to further perform the rising/lowering voltage, and supplies the power source that has passed the rising/lowering voltage to the light-emitting element. (may be, but not limited to, the cold cathode fluorescent lamp of the present embodiment) 231 is used. At the same time, the voltage/current monitoring component 232 will detect the voltage and current, and return the sampling result to the digital control circuit 210. The digital control circuit 210 further adjusts the driving square wave signal according to the sampling result, and transmits the voltage to the voltage. Electrical ceramic transformer set 220. This monitoring mechanism will maintain the operating voltage/current value of the illuminating element within a specific operating range. As described above, since the control circuit used in this embodiment is digital, and has the ability to simultaneously output multiple sets of driving square wave signals, only one control circuit is required to control multiple sets of piezoelectric ceramic transformer groups to form multiple channels. The mode greatly reduces the use of electronic components, not only reduces the area, reduces the electromagnetic interference between electronic components, reduces the cost, but also saves a lot of money. It should be noted that for the sake of simplicity of the illustration, only one set of piezoelectric ceramic transformer set 220 and a set of illumination/monitoring group 2 3 0 are taken as an example. The third figure is another embodiment of the present invention. Circuit block diagram. In this figure, a circuit 321 incorporating a level shifter and a bridge rectifier (H-bridge) is used as a driving element in the piezoelectric ceramic transformer group. It should be noted that the light-emitting elements in the illumination/monitoring group 330 of the present figure are represented by a cold cathode fluorescent tube, but the practical application is: not only the cold cathode fluorescent tube, but also the digital position of the present invention. Multi-channel piezoelectric ceramic inverters can be applied to other light-emitting components, such as External Electrode Fluorescent Lamps (EEFLs), energy-saving lamps, and the like. Please continue to see the third picture. Similar to the operation of the second figure, a driving square wave signal of a specific frequency is first transmitted from the digital control circuit 310 to the piezoelectric ceramic transformer group 320. The piezoelectric ceramic transformer group 320 is composed of an i-driving element and a piezoelectric ceramic transformer, wherein the driving element can be any electronic switching device with a driving load capability, such as a level shifter and a bridge rectifier of the present figure. Circuit 321 of (H-bridge). After receiving the driving square wave signal, the driving component 321 generates a high-voltage, high-current square wave signal to be supplied to the piezoelectric ceramic transformer 322 to further perform a rising/lowering voltage, and supplies the power source that has passed the rising/lowering voltage to the light-emitting element. (It may be, but is not limited to, the cold cathode fluorescent 10 200908521 lamp tube 331 of the present embodiment). At the same time, the voltage/current monitoring component 332 will sample and measure the voltage and current ' and pass the sampling result back to the digital control circuit 310; the digital control circuit 310 further adjusts the driving square wave signal according to the sampling result, and transmits the signal to the square wave. Piezoelectric ceramic transformer group 320. This monitoring mechanism will maintain the operating voltage/current value of the illuminating element within a specific operating range. Similarly, since the control circuit used in this embodiment is digital, and has the ability to simultaneously output multiple sets of driving square wave signals, only one control circuit is required to control multiple sets of piezoelectric ceramic transformer groups to form a multi-channel mode. The use of electronic components is greatly reduced, which not only reduces the area, reduces the electromagnetic interference between the electronic components, reduces the cost, and further saves the cost. It should be noted that for the sake of simplicity of illustration, only one set of piezoelectric ceramic transformer set 320 and a set of illumination/monitoring group 3 3 0 are shown as an example. The fourth figure shows a piezoelectric ceramic transformer digital control circuit 210 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The digital control circuit 210 includes a digital integrated circuit (1C) 211, a plurality of numerical control oscillators (Numerical Control Osci 1 lator) 212.a to 212.n, a multiplexer 213, an analog digital converter. (Analog to Digital Converter) 214. Still referring to the fourth figure, in conjunction with the drawings, the circuit workflow description of the present invention is made in the following description. First, the digital integrated circuit 211 issues a drive 11 200908521 signal to the numerically controlled oscillator 212. Moreover, due to the characteristics of the digital integrated circuit, the digital integrated circuit 211 can simultaneously control the plurality of sets of numerically controlled oscillators 212 to form a plurality of sets of channels. . The numerically controlled oscillator 212 oscillates a driving square wave signal of a specific frequency according to the driving signal, and outputs the driving square wave signal to the piezoelectric ceramic transformer group. Thereafter, the above voltage/current sampling result is transmitted to the analog-to-digital converter 214 via the multiplexer 213 while the light-emitting element is operating. The analog-to-digital converter 214 converts such a specific detection signal into a digital signal, and outputs it to the digital integrated circuit 211. The digital integrated circuit 211 further adjusts the driving signal according to the digital detection signal, generates a driving square wave via the numerically controlled oscillator 212, and sends it to the piezoelectric ceramic transformer group.
