Abstract
An electromechanical system (MEMS) voltmeter. An exemplary MEMS voltmeter includes a proof mass mounted to a substrate in a teeter-totter manner. The MEMS voltmeter also includes an input voltage plate located on the substrate under a first end of the proof mass. The first input voltage plate receives a voltage from a device under test. A drive voltage plate is located on the substrate under a second end of the proof mass. A first sense input voltage plate is located on the substrate under the first end of the proof mass. A second sense voltage plate is located on the substrate under the second end of the proof mass. A rebalancing circuit receives signals from the proof mass and the first and second sense voltage plates and generates a voltage value that is equal to the root mean square (RMS) voltage of the device under test.
