  • Abstract
    This paper describes a novel test methodology for testing MEMS magnetic micromotor. A fault simulation model has been developed for the micromotor. The test apparatus consists of a low frequency sinusoidal source and a resonator that is tuned to the normal operating frequency of the micromotor. The test method described in this paper is used to detect complete open and near-open defects in the stator coils of the micromotor
