Corning IntelliSense Has Been Awarded A $2mn Grant
Corning IntelliSense has been awarded a $2mn grant from the US Department of Commerce's Advanced Technology Program (ATP) to develop embedded digital interface and control circuits for micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS). The two-year programme will be funded with a total of $5.6mn.
"By applying the digital control schemes developed during this programme we will be able to bridge the gap between analogue MEMS and digital electronics," says Dr Carlos Mastrangelo, vice president of engineering at Corning IntelliSense.
The project aims at applying a robust algorithm able to handle these variations using an application-specific IC (ASIC) with ultrahigh control bandwidth density for precise control of the MEMS actuators.
Corning plans to apply MEMS digital control technology to next-generation MEMS devices including optical switching actuators, beam steering antennas, high-density storage devices, and mass flow control.
