摘要: The present invention generally relates to a MEMS DVC utilizing one or more MIM capacitors. The MIM capacitor may be disposed between the MEMS device and the RF pad or the MIM capacitor may be integrated into the MEMS device itself. The MIM capacitor ensures that a low resistance for the MEMS DVC is achieved.

摘要: The present invention generally relates to a MEMS DVC having a shielding electrode structure between the RF electrode and one or more other electrodes that cause a plate to move. The shielding electrode structure may be grounded and, in essence, block or shield the RF electrode from the one or more electrodes that cause the plate to move. By shielding the RF electrode, coupling of the RF electrode to the one or more electrodes that cause the plate to move is reduced and capacitance modulation is reduced or even eliminated.

摘要: The present invention generally relates to a mechanism for testing a MEMS hysteresis. A power management circuit may be coupled to the electrodes that cause the movable plate that is disposed between the electrodes in a MEMS device to move. The power management circuit may utilize a charge pump, a comparator and a resistor ladder.

摘要: The present invention generally relates to a method of operating a MEMS DVC while minimizing impact of the MEMS device on contact surfaces. By reducing the drive voltage upon the pull-in movement of the MEMS device, the acceleration of the MEMS device towards the contact surface is reduced and thus, the impact velocity is reduced and less damage of the MEMS DVC device occurs.

摘要: The present invention generally relates to a DVC having a charge-pump coupled to a MEMS device. The charge-pump is designed to control the output voltage delivered to the electrodes, such as the pull-in electrode or the pull-off electrode, that move the switching element within the MEMS device between locations spaced far from and disposed closely to the RF electrode.

摘要: The present disclosure generally relates to a mechanism for making a MEMS switch that can switch large electrical powers. Extra landing electrodes are employed that provide added electrical contact along the MEMS device so that when in contact current and heat are removed from the MEMS structure close to the hottest points.

摘要: The present disclosure generally relates to a MEMS DVC utilizing one or more MIM capacitors located in the anchor of the DVC and an Ohmic contact located on the RF-electrode. The MIM capacitor in combination with the ohmic MEMS device ensures that a stable capacitance for the MEMS DVC is achieved with applied RF power.
