MICRO-ELECTRO-MECHANICAL-SYSTEM (MEMS) DRIVER
First Claim
1. A driver for a micro-electro-mechanical-system (MEMS) device, the driver comprising:
- a first input configured to receive a first command signal including an oscillatory command signal;
a second input configured to receive a second command signal including a bias command signal; and
an amplifier configured to receive a high voltage supply, the amplifier configured to provide, to the MEMS device, a closed-loop output signal responsive to both the first command signal and the second command signal in a first state, and to provide an open loop output signal configured to substantially span a voltage range of the high voltage supply in a second state.

Abstract
In an example, a driver for a micro-electro-mechanical-system (MEMS) device can include a first input configured to receive a first command signal including an oscillatory command signal, a second input configured to receive a second command signal including a bias command signal, and an amplifier configured to receive a high voltage supply, to provide, to the MEMS device, a closed-loop output signal responsive to both the first command signal and the second command signal in a first state, and to provide an open loop output signal configured to substantially span a voltage range of the high voltage supply in a second state.
