Abstract
A magnetoelectric composite transformer is proposed. The voltage step-up ratio can be adjusted by an applied magnetic field based on the direct and converse magnetoelectric effects. The nonlinear relationship between the voltage step-up ratio and magnetic field is caused by the nonlinear relationship of the magnetoelectric effect in magnetic field.
