Abstract

Debiotech SA, une entreprise spécialisée dans la conception d'instruments médicaux, développe actuellement une micropompe de type patch destinée au traitement du diabète. Cette pompe est construite à partir d'un composant MEMS qui possède un actionneur piezo-électrique externe capable de délivrer une force importante tout en ayant une course très faible de l'ordre de quelques dizaines de microns seulement. Un dispositif alternatif est en cours d'évaluation afin de sécuriser l'approvisionnement de l'actionneur en production. Ce nouvel actionneur requière une adaptation de l'électronique actuelle, capable de générer des hautes tensions en mode bipolaire.

Electronics

Electronics is a scientific and engineering discipline that studies and applies the principles of physics to design, create, and operate devices that manipulate electrons and other charged particles. Electronics is a subfield of electrical engineering, but it differs from it in that it focuses on using active devices such as transistors, diodes, and integrated circuits to control and amplify the flow of electric current and to convert it from one form to another, such as from alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) or from analog to digital.
