Abstract
A microcomponent which includes a capacitive component, of at least two elementary capacitors (C1, C2, C3, C4) which are connected in series. Each elementary capacitor is made up of two plates namely: a plate (10) fixed with respect to the rest of the microcomponent; and a second plate (12), part of which is capable of being displaced with respect to the first fixed plate (10) due to the effect of a control signal, so as to vary the value of the capacitance of the elementary capacitor C1. The control signals for the various elementary capacitors are generated independently so as to vary the overall capacitance of the capacitor by independent variation of the capacitances of each elementary capacitor.
