    摘要: A MEM device has a movable element (30), a pair of electrodes (e1, e2) to move the movable element, one electrode having an independently movable section (e3), resiliently coupled to the rest of the respective electrode to provide additional resistance to a pull in of the electrodes. This can enable a higher release voltage Vrel, and thus reduced risk of stiction. Also, a ratio of Vpi to Vrel can be reduced, and so a greater range of voltage is available for movement of the movable element. This enables faster switching. The area of the independently movable section is smaller than the rest of the electrode, and the spring constant of the resilient coupling is greater than that of the flexible support. Alternatively, the movable element can have a movable stamp section resiliently coupled and protruding towards the substrate to provide an additional resistance to pull in when it contacts the substrate.

    摘要: A MEMS circuit comprises a MEMS device arrangement with temperature dependent output; a resistive heating circuit; and a feedback control system for controlling the resistive heating circuit to provide heating in order to maintain a MEMS device at a constant temperature. The heating is controlled in dependence on the ambient temperature, such that a MEMS device temperature is maintained at one of a plurality of temperatures in dependence on the ambient temperature. This provides power savings because the temperature to which the MEMS device is heated can be kept within a smaller margin of the ambient temperature.

    摘要: An oscillator circuit has a first and a second piezoresistive resonator (1,2), each having a resonant frequency, each piezoresistive resonator having an input for driving the resonator, and each piezoresistive resonator having its input coupled directly to an output of the other of the resonators, to provide feedback according to a resistance of the respective resonator without amplification and without a phase shifter. This enables feedback without the need for another component to provide the phase shift. This means a simpler circuit can be used, which can facilitate greater integration and hence lower costs. By using piezoresistive resonators the need for an external crystal can be avoided, enabling greater integration and lower costs.
