Systems and methods for improved control of micro-electrical-mechanical system (MEMS) electrostatic actuator

摘要

Methods and apparatuses for sensing and adjusting lateral motion in a comb drive actuated MEMS device are provided. If lateral motion is sensed by a lateral motion sensor coupled to the comb drive actuated MEMS device, and the lateral motion is greater than a reference value, a feedback controller adjusts the lateral motion by providing a drive signal to a comb drive electrode of a comb drive actuator.
