Zusammenfassung:A phase change material switch device is provided. In one implementation, the phase change material switch device includes a phase change material and a heater device thermally coupled to the phase change material. During heating phases, a coupling device provides a first electrical impedance between a power source and the heater device. Outside the heating phases, the coupling device provides a second, higher, impedance.
