 Abstract   This paper presents the intentional use of the Miller effect present in MOSFET devices to control a piezoelectric actuator. The Miller effect, normally neglected or minimized, can be useful to meet the dv/dt application requirements. A halfbridge converter is used as a power amplifier, where an external R-C network has been added to achieve the desired dv/dt. The transient semiconductor device behavior is simulated and tested experimentally.
