Hi John,
We're developing a long throw magnetic actuator which has demonstrated power
consumption of 32mW at a 1 volt operating range.

Actuation distance can be designed to be anywhere from 20um to 100um within
these power constraints; displacement is in a lateral direction (in the
plane of the wafer), and has been shown to be highly linear.  The first
applications we've considered are optical components, such as a VOA, but
there may also be possibilities in other fields which are being explored.

Subject: [mems-talk] Power requirements for MEMS


I am trying to obtain the power requirements for as many types of MEMS
devices as possible in order to see if the energy and power densities of
the thin film lithium and lithium-ion "microbatteries" our company is
developing are anywhere close to meeting these requirements.  Can anyone
help?

Thank you.

John Bates
