contents We present the first lithium tantalate (LT) thickness-extensional (TE) mode bulk acoustic resonators designed for piezoelectric power conversion, showcasing a low temperature coefficient of frequency (TCF) of -13.56 ppm/K. These resonators also exhibit high quality factors (Q) of 1698, and electromechanical coupling coefficients ($k^2$) of 8.8%, making them suitable for efficient power conversion applications. A grounded ring structure is leveraged for spurious mode-free response and figure of merit (FoM=$k^2 \times Q$) enhancement near the series resonance. The temperature dependency of Q and $k^2$ is experimentally tested over a wide temperature range, from $25^{\circ}\text{C}$ to $130^{\circ}\text{C}$, demonstrating the resonators thermal stability and consistent performance under varying conditions. This work highlights the potential of LT resonators in the future development of thermally stable power electronic systems, enabling more reliable and efficient piezoelectric power converters.
