Teledyne Technologies’ company, Teledyne DALSA Semiconductor has introduced an electrostatic actuator high voltage integrated circuit called the DH9685AB for high-density MEMS and MOEMS Systems.
Teledyne DALSA Electrostatic Actuator Integrated Circuit
Teledyne DALSA Semiconductor has designed the DH9685AB utilizing MOEMS or MEMS activation with electrostatic forces and proprietary high-voltage CMOS/DMOS technology. The device is engineered for next-generation, low-power, high-density and small-footprint system requirements. It demonstrates the company’s product development and production capabilities for HV-CMOS, CCD and MEMS solutions.
The DH9685AB offers a cost-saving solution for high-density systems and broadens Teledyne DALSA's proven MOEMS and MEMS capabilities. The ROHS-complaint device features 96 high-voltage, high-precision channels of up to 240 V inside a 17x17 mm BGA package. It works via a digital 3-wire interface and consumes power less than 500 mW. It features 24 optional quads of 4 high-voltage channels that can be programmed with 4 low-voltage 16-bit DACs.
The integrated circuit delivers constant HV output over time and features internal diode for monitoring temperature. It features three folds more channels and consumes four folds less power when compared to the Analog Devices AD5535 for the same size. Its noise performance is equal or better than that of the AD5535. It has variable HV Output range with reference input.
Teledyne DALSA’s Senior Product Manager, Remi Meingan informed that advanced high-voltage design allows the company to deliver very low power consumption where more number of channels is required. The company’s sophisticated BGA Package allows its DH9685AB to integrate with the least footprint area per channel.
