Controller for Phase Change Switch Device, System and Methods

Abstract

A controller for a phase change switch device, a system including the controller, a phase change switch device, and a corresponding method are provided. The controller includes a control input configured to receive a first control signal indicating a desired state of the phase change switch device and a measurement input configured to receive a measurement signal indicating an actual state of the phase change switch device. A control logic is configured to generate a second control signal based on the first control signal and the measurement signal. The controller further includes a control output configured to output the second control signal to at least one heater of the phase change switch device.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
