    Abstract: A system includes an active micro-electric mechanical system (MEMS) cooling system and a drive system. The MEMS cooling system includes cooling element(s) that direct fluid toward a surface of heat-generating structure(s) when driven to vibrate by a driving signal having a frequency and an input voltage. The drive system is coupled to the active MEMS cooling system and provides the driving signal. The drive system includes a power source and a feedback controller providing a feedback signal corresponding to a proximity to a resonant state of the at least one cooling element. The drive system adjusts at least one of the frequency and the input voltage based on the feedback signal such that the frequency corresponds to the resonant state of the cooling element(s). The input voltage does not exceed a maximum safe operating voltage for the cooling element(s).
