Title:
POWER SWITCHING SYSTEM INCLUDING MICRO-ELECTROMECHANICAL SYSTEM (MEMS) ARRAY
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2012142934
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide a power switching system including micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) array.
A switching system (4) comprises: a plurality of diodes forming a diode bridge; and a micro-mechanical system (MEMS) switch array (12) closely coupled to the plurality of diodes. The MEMS switch array (12) is electrically connected in an (M×N) array. The (M×N) array comprises a first MEMS switch leg (40) electrically connected in parallel with a second MEMS switch leg (44). The first MEMS switch leg (40) comprises a first plurality of MEMS dies electrically connected in series, and the second MEMS switch leg (44) comprises a second plurality of MEMS dies electrically connected in series.
