Low- to high-voltage driver controls MEMS devices

12 January 2023

Menlo Micro has rolled out its eight channel, low-voltage to high-voltage drivers with an integrated charge pump.

Called the MM101, the driver provides a cost-effective solution for controlling microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) devices and other high voltage driving applications.

The high voltage driver features selectable communication interfaces (SPI, GPIO) with up to 33 MHz SPI clocking speed and can be configured in a daisy-chain mode.

Other features include:

  • Interface fault indicators
  • Power-on reset
  • Power ON/OFF sequence control
  • Under voltage protection for charge pump
  • Internal charge pump voltage converter
  • Eight high-voltage push-pull output channels

Additionally, the driver reduces board layout space and bill of materials costs compared to multi-chip driver offerings, Menlo Micro said.
