    Abstract: The present invention provides an integrated microvalve system (1) comprising at least a first fluid branch (8) and a microvalve (2) being controlled by a control pressure in a control channel (17). The microvalve (2) is adapted to control a fluid flow in the first fluid branch (8). A flow restrictor arrangement (21) is located between a control port (19) and the control channel (17) to give a pre-determined turn-on and turn-off response characteristics of the microvalve (2). Preferably the flow restrictor arrangement (21) comprises a deflate channel (30) and an inflate channel (31) arranged in parallel. Each channel (30, 31) comprises a check valve (34, 35) and a flow restrictor (24, 25), which may have different flow restriction to give different turn-on and turn-off response characteristics for the microvalve (2).
