Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2518745A2] A Micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) switching array (1000) includes circuitry (1008), which may be coupled to a gate line (1006) of the array to adjust a temporal distribution of a gating signal applied to a plurality of MEMS switches that make up the switching array. The temporal distribution may be shaped to reduce a voltage surge that can develop in the switches during switching of electrical current. This voltage surge reduction is conducive to improving the durability of the array.
