Ultrasonic fingerprint sensors are becoming more widely used in thick or flexible displays. In order to better identify fingerprint information, ultrasonic sensors need to generate more ultrasonic energy, which can be transmitted to the display surface through media with higher acoustic impedance. In this paper, a DC-AC converter with a high lift ratio was proposed to enhance the transmission energy of the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, thus helping to improve the identification. The converter comprises a full-bridge inverter and two LC resonant circuits. The introduction of an additional LC resonant circuit into the traditional Class-D LC resonant converter effectively increases the boost ratio of the proposed converter from 5 to 22. When used as a part of the ultrasonic fingerprint sensing system, the proposed converter can amplify the 20-V low-voltage DC required to drive the piezoelectric organic film to 376 V high-voltage AC. The voltage of the wave received from this new driver is equal to 970 mV, which greatly exceeds the 376 mV achieved by using the Class-D converter alone. In this paper, the topology proposed by the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor converter driver was experimentally verified, which greatly improved the boost ratio and can be considered suitable for wider applications.
