SWITCHING ELEMENT HAVING AN ELECTROMECHANICAL SWITCH AND METHODS FOR MAKING AND USING SAME

摘要

A switching element (800) having an electromechanical switch (604, 801) (such as an electrically conductive membrane switch, for example a graphene membrane switch) is disclosed herein. Such a switching element can be made and used in a switching power converter to reduce power loss and to maximize efficiency of the switching power converter.
