Arduino for 190 KHz Metal Mesh Piezo Atomizer

Other Hardware General Electronics

Hello generously helpful arduino geniuses!
I apologise for my stupidity on this subject, but the industrial sector has not been able to help. For my phd project I wanted to buy a driver for this 190 KHz piezoelectric transducer water atomiser (Metal Mesh Piezo Atomizer 190 KHz - SMMOD10F190 - STEMINC - Piezoceramic Discs, Plates, Transformers, Bimorphs and Cylinders), but no one has been able to provide one. I consulted the Electrical engineering department at my university and they were also unable to help. They provided a signal generator, but it couldn't provide what we needed. The company's tech rep specified 190 kHz, less than 3 volts, and less than 1 watt, but I think the specs are also in the link. Eventually I was advised to build my own so here I am. Is it even possible with Arduino? Can anyone give me a push in the right direction?

Many thanks for reading this!

Static capacitance Cs: 2.2nF ±30% Voltage Input: 30~50Vpp

It's definitely 'd be possible to use arduino as generator 16 000 000 / 84 = 190 476 Hz, but you need a separate shield with H-bridge and high voltage source.

The specs say 30-50 Vpp (peak to peak) at 190kHz and 250 ohms impedance at the resonant frequency. Assuming 25 Vpeak, that is a little over 1 watt of power. Ultrasonic cleaners use similar transducers but usually operate at lower frequencies (e.g. 40 kHz). A dedicated oscillator circuit will easily produce the required output and you can get lots of examples by googling "ultrasonic cleaner schematic".

Thank you both so much for your responses!

This will definitely get me started in the right direction.
