Abstract: A microelectromechanical system, MEMS, comprises a MEMS wafer comprising an array of MEMS elements partitioned into a plurality of sub-arrays. A respective local control unit is provided for each sub-array a respective local control unit arranged to perform read/write communication with each MEMS element of the corresponding sub-array. The MEMS further includes a control wafer comprising a control circuit for controlling the array of MEMS elements. The control circuit is configured to transmit and receive data signals to and from each of the local control units using, for each control unit, a respective plurality of through silicon vias, TSV, in the control wafer. The control circuit is operative to control the array of MEMS elements using the data signals passed between the control circuit and the local control units, which comprise data signals relating to specific ones of the MEMS elements of the corresponding sub-array of MEMS elements.
