  • MAGNETIC FLUX SWITCH
    Publication number: 20130207754
    Abstract: A magnetic flux switch having a substrate and an elongated rod having a first end attached to the substrate and a magnetic material attached to the second end. An electrostatic comb drive pivots the rod between a first and second pivotal position in dependence upon the input signal for the comb drive. In its first position the magnetic material is positioned closely adjacent a magnetic flux sensor on the substrate so that flux flow through the rod flows through the sensor which then generates an output signal. Conversely, with the rod in its second position, the magnetic material is spaced from the sensor so that flux does not flow through the magnetic flux sensor.
