  • Publication number: 20250210295
    Abstract: Circuit breakers based on micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) switches are described. A high voltage MEMS teeter-totter switch can include a beam coupled to an anchor on a substrate and two control electrodes, disposed on a surface of the substrate. A control voltage applied on one of the control electrodes with respect to a first reference voltage puts one of the two ends of the beam in electric contact with one of two contact electrodes of the MEMS teeter-totter switch to electrical connected two terminals of a circuit breaker. The input voltage is applied on the beam with respect to a second reference voltage different from the first reference voltage. A MEMS teeter-totter switch network comprises a plurality of MEMS teeter-totter switches configured to switch high voltage and high current between the two terminals of the circuit breaker.

  • Publication number: 20250210282
    Abstract: High voltage microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) switches are described. The MEMS switches can be actively opened and closed. The switch can include a beam coupled to an anchor on a substrate by one or more hinges. The switch can include control electrodes, disposed on a surface of the substrate, for electrically controlling the beam. The anchor is asymmetrically positioned with respect to the two ends of the beam and is electrically connected to a middle electrode. A stopper serves as a pivot point during actuation of the switch to reduce the mechanical stress on the hinges.

  • Publication number: 20250210283
    Abstract: High voltage micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) switches are described. A MEMS teeter-totter switch can include a beam coupled to an anchor on a substrate and two control electrodes, disposed on a surface of the substrate. A control circuit may include an isolator that provides an isolated activation voltage to a voltage supply and control circuit. The voltage supply and control circuit uses the isolated activation voltage to supply a control voltage to one of the control electrodes with respect to a first reference voltage, causing the beam to provide an input voltage received from an input terminal to a contact electrode of the MEMS teeter-totter switch electrically connected to an output terminal. The input voltage is applied on the beam with respect to a second reference voltage different from the first reference voltage.

  • Publication number: 20250210296
    Abstract: High voltage micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) switches are described. A MEMS teeter-totter switch connected between two terminals of a circuit breaker can include a beam coupled to an anchor on a substrate and two control electrodes, disposed on a surface of the substrate. A protective switch connected between the two terminals in parallel with the MEMS teeter-totter switch may turn on during transition of the MEMS teeter-totter switch between ON and OFF states to protect the MEMS teeter-totter switch from large currents and voltages that may flow or develop across the MEMS teeter-totter switch when the voltage between two terminals is large.
