Micro-Electromechanical system Based Switching

摘要

A current control device (10) is disclosed. The current control device (10) includes control circuitry (72) integrally arranged with a current path and at least one micro electromechanical system (MEMS) switch pair (21) disposed in the current path. The current control device (10) further includes a hybrid arcless limiting technology (HALT) circuit (14) connected in parallel with the at least one MEMS switch pair (21) facilitating the opening of the at least one MEMS switch pair (21).
