Abstract

See full text

In an actuator driver array, each actuator driver includes a transition stage to initiate a state change of a driver output signal, a static stage to maintain the state change, and an isolation resistor to couple the driver output signal to an output node of the actuator driver during a static mode. In an array of pad capacitors, each pad capacitor has: a first terminal at a connector pad communicatively coupled to the output node; and a second terminal coupled to an RF ground rail. The isolation resistor and the pad capacitor form a low-pass filter to filter RF harmonics from a respective actuator driver to respective actuator circuitry, and to filter RF energy generated outside of the respective actuator driver to its output node. In an RF actuator array, a state of each element is controllable by a corresponding actuator driver in the actuator driver array.
