This is for a custom infra-red motion sensor.



We will be using micro mirrors to focus and track infra-red signals. The concept is nothing new, but we are building them in microns. There will be many micromachined mirrors controlled by electro-static actuators. Using 15V (out of max. 20V process) drivers, we can move actuators by a few microns.



The ASIC (assisted by an external mutual inductors) will charge pump and store the energy needed to move the actuators.



I am adding this discussion to sci.electronics.design, where some of the ideas have been discussed.


Now that's cool. MEMS motion sensors. Similar, I suppose, to the TI electrostatic (?) micro mirror imaging technology.

Is this a military application? Best regards, Spehro Pefhany

TI as well as many others.

Not yet, mainly for commerical use, where price is important.
