Abstract

See full text

A control circuit for a MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical System) has a semiconductor switch which has a source, a drain and a gate, which is associated with a selected one of spatially arranged fixed and movable plates of a variable capacitor, and is arranged to selectively connect the selected one of the fixed and movable plates with a voltage source. A charge injection control circuit is associated with the semiconductor switch and attenuates current injection into the selected one of the fixed and movable plates of the capacitor.
