ABSTRACT:
A system and method for testing performance characteristics of a MEMs device includes an activation driver configured to receive and drive a waveform to an activation side of the micro electromechanical device and configured to provide readback of an activation voltage and activation current drawn by activation of the micro electromechanical device. A switch driver configured to provide a load to a switch side of the micro electromechanical device provides readback of a load voltage and a load current drawn by the micro electromechanical device. A contact-closure counter and master control card (MCC) is included to control the activation and switch drivers while a digital volt meter (DVM) is in operable communication with the micro electromechanical device to read back analog readback. An analog multiplexer provides the analog readback to a corresponding activation driver or switch driver. A computer having software provides system control, data acquisition, data storage, and data analysis is in operable communication with the multiplexer, DVM and MCC.
