An apparatus (1000) includes an electrical device (1004) and a latching micromagnetic switch (1002) that controls energy flow through the electrical device (1004). The latching micromagnetic switch (1002) includes a cantilever, a permanent magnet, and a coil configured to latch the latching micromagnetic switch (1002) in one of two positions each time energy passes through the coil. The electrical device (1004) and the latching micromagnetic (1002) switch can be integrated on a same substrate. Otherwise, the electrical device (1004) and the latching micromagnetic switch (1002) can be located on separate substrates and coupled together. The electrical device (1004) can be a circuit, a filter, an antenna, a transceiver, or the like.
