Robust Control of an Electrostatic Microelectromechanical Actuator
A continuing trend these days is the use of micro-electro-mechanical actuators with electronic circuitry to fabricate MEMS devices such as micro-switches, hard disks, optical micro-mirrors ... One of the problems with the electrostatic MEMS actuator is that when an electrical voltage is applied to these devices, the micro-actuators undergo a residual vibration before reaching their permanent po...
متن کاملNonlinear Parameter Identification of a Resonant Electrostatic MEMS Actuator
We experimentally investigate the primary superharmonic of order two and subharmonic of order one-half resonances of an electrostatic MEMS actuator under direct excitation. We identify the parameters of a one degree of freedom (1-DOF) generalized Duffing oscillator model representing it. The experiments were conducted in soft vacuum to reduce squeeze-film damping, and the actuator response was ...
متن کاملA Simplified Equivalent Circuit Model of MEMS Electrostatic Actuator
Modeling a MEMS (Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems) electrostatic actuator in electrical domain is important for system simulation of the actuator along with its associated electronics. For instance, an integrated MEMS resonator used in a serial I/O PLL design modeled in electrical domain enables to optimize the system with the rest of the electronics. In this work, we have developed a simplifie...
متن کاملA Bi-Directional Out-of-Plane Actuator by Electrostatic Force
Presented in this paper is a bi-directional out-of-plane actuator which combines the merits of the electrostatic repulsive principle and the electrostatic attractive principle. By taking advantage of the electrostatic repulsive mode, the common “pull-in” instability can be lessened to enlarge the displacement, and by applying the electrostatic attractive mode, the out-of-plane displacement is f...
متن کاملReduction of Electrostatic Control Voltage with a Tri - Electrode Actuator †
We present a new tri-electrode topology for reducing the control voltage for electrostatic actuators. Conventional parallel plate actuators are dual-electrode systems, formed by the MEMS structure and the drive electrode. By placing a perforated intermediate electrode between these elements, a tri-electrode configuration is formed. This topology enables a low voltage on the intermediate electro...
