Ideal Switch: The Building Blocks For Next-Gen Signal Management
The Ideal Switch has proven to be an ideal replacement for large high-power RF electromechanical relays, as well as RF/microwave solid-state switches, where linearity and insertion loss are critical parameters.
The Ideal Switch offers the power handling and RF performance of an EM relay with the size, weight, reliability and speed of solid state.
26 GHz SP4T RF Switch: MM5130
The MM5130 is the world’s first generally available high-power SP4T RF Ideal Switch.
It can handle 25 W forward power while providing ultra-low insertion loss. It has superior linearity from 26 GHz down to DC and performs more than 3 billion switching cycles.
The four switch channels are individually controllable by applying voltage to the corresponding RF GATE pin.
40 Gbps High-Speed Differential Switch: MM5600
The MM5600 is a DPDT switch that can operate up to 40 Gbps and is perfect for high-speed differential signal switching.
The MM5600’s integrated driver can be controlled by a serial-to-parallel interface that drives the high voltage gate lines of the switches. The design also offers a considerable 94% reduction in size when compared to conventional EM relay solutions.
