Abstract: The present disclosure provides a power switch for use in a power management system including a power source for supplying an electrical current, and a load for receiving the electric current upon establishing a circuit with the power source. The power switch includes a motion sensor, a timer, and a gate. The motion sensor is configured to sense a motion related to an operation of the load and generate an idle signal when the sensed motion is below a predetermined threshold. The timer is coupled with the motion sensor, and it is configured to activate a power-off signal upon detecting the idle signal for a predetermined time period. The gate is coupled with the timer, and it is configured to either complete the circuit when the power-off signal is inactive or break up the circuit when the power-off signal is active.

Abstract: In described examples, each node between adjacent capacitive elements of a stack of series-coupled capacitive elements is biased during a reset mode, where each of the capacitive elements includes piezoelectric material. A strain-induced voltage is generated across each of the capacitive elements. Each of the strain-induced voltages is combined to generate a piezoelectric-responsive output signal during a sensing mode at a time different from the time of the reset mode.

Abstract: A method forming a packaged semiconductor device includes providing a first semiconductor die (first die) having bond pads thereon mounted face-up on a package substrate or on a die pad of a lead frame (substrate), wherein the substrate includes terminals or contact pads (substrate pads). A first dielectric layer is formed including printing a first dielectric precursor layer including a first ink having a first liquid carrier solvent extending from the substrate pads to the bond pads. A first interconnect precursor layer is printed including a second ink having a second liquid carrier over the first dielectric layer extending from the substrate pads to the bond pads. Sintering or curing the first interconnect precursor layer removes at least the second liquid carrier to form an electrically conductive interconnect including an ink residue which connects respective substrate pads to respective bond pads.

Abstract: A MEMS device is formed by applying a lower polymer film to top surfaces of a common substrate containing a plurality of MEMS devices, and patterning the lower polymer film to form a headspace wall surrounding components of each MEMS device. Subsequently an upper polymer dry film is applied to top surfaces of the headspace walls and patterned to form headspace caps which isolate the components of each MEMS device. Subsequently, the MEMS devices are singulated to provide separate MEMS devices.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments demonstrate batch processing methods for producing optical windows for microdevices. The windows protect the active elements of the microdevice from contaminants, while allowing light to pass into and out of the hermetically sealed microdevice package. Windows may be batch produced, reducing the cost of production, by fusing multiple metal frames to a single sheet of glass. In order to allow windows to be welded atop packages, disclosed embodiments keep a lip of metal without any glass after the metal frames are fused to the sheet of glass. Several techniques may accomplish this goal, including grinding grooves in the glass to provide a gap that prevents fusion of the glass to the metal frames along the outside edges in order to form a lip. The disclosed batch processing techniques may allow for more efficient window production, taking advantage of the economy of scale.
