Zusammenfassung:A MEMS device comprises a cavity for emitting a fluid and a pump structure configured for generating a pressure of the fluid in the cavity and for providing the fluid under pressure. The MEMS device comprises a sensor unit configured for sensing an electrical parameter that is based on an electrical impedance of the pump structure. The sensor unit provides a sensor signal based on the electrical parameter. The MEMS device comprises a control unit configured for controlling an operation of the pump structure. The control unit is configured for processing the sensor signal for adapting an operation of the MEMS device and/or for failure detection.
