The Menlo Micro Differential Dual DP3T switch supports the high-speed differential signal switching required in PCIe Gen 6, SerDes and other applications. The MM5620 is based on Menlo’s Ideal Switch® technology and can operate up to 64 Gbps or 20 GHz for high-performance applications.

The MM5620 has low insertion loss, fast switching speed, and can operate with greater than 3 billion switching cycles. The MM5620’s integrated charge pump and driver can be controlled through SPI or GPIO interfaces by a host processor.

Menlo Micro has developed a DPDT switch for high-speed differential signal switching. The MM5600 is based on Menlo’s Ideal Switch® technology and can operate up to 40 Gbps for digital signaling applications, or high-performance RF applications up to 20 GHz. The MM5600 has low insertion loss, fast switching speed, internal ESD diodes, and can operate with greater than three billion switching cycles.

The MM5600’s integrated driver is controlled by a serial-to-parallel interface that drives the high voltage gate lines of the switches. The design also offers two separate singleended ports and a considerable 90% reduction in size when compared with comparable EM relay solutions. An external +5 VDC logic supply and high voltage +89 VDC bias source is required for operation of the internal switch driver. 

The MM5130 device is a high-power SP4T micro-mechanical switch offered by Menlo Micro. Menlo Micro has developed a new Ideal Switch® fabrication process and applied it to DC and wideband RF/microwave switch applications. This innovative technology enables highly reliable switches capable of 25 W forward power. The MM5130 provides ultra-low insertion loss and superior linearity as an SP4T from DC to 18 GHz. The MM5130 can also be configured in Super-Port mode that extends the frequency operation to 26 GHz. The MM5130 is an ideal solution for replacing large RF electromechanical relays, as well as RF/microwave solid-state switches in applications where linearity and insertion loss are critical parameters. The four switch channels are individually controllable by applying a gate voltage to the corresponding RF GATE pin.

The MM5140 is a high-power SP4T switch built on Menlo Micro's Ideal Switch® technology. This innovative technology enables highly reliable switches capable of greater than 25 W forward power. The MM5140 provides ultra-low insertion loss and superior linearity as an SP4T from DC to 6 GHz, with greater than 3 billion switching cycles. The MM5140 is an ideal solution for replacing large RF electromechanical relays, as well as RF/microwave solid-state switches in applications where linearity and insertion loss are critical parameters. The MM5140 features an integrated driver circuit with SPI and GPIO interface control options and an integrated charge pump to drive the gate.

The MM3100 device is a high power, normally open (NO), six channel Single Pole Single Throw (SPST) micro-mechanical switch for RF and microwave switch applications. Innovations in the switch material system enables robust and highly reliable switches capable of 25 W power transfer. Each switch provides ultra-low on-state insertion loss and high off-state isolation from DC to over 3.0 GHz with greater than 3 billion switching cycles. Each switch can be individually controlled by a standard Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) synchronous bus.

Flexibility of six SPST switches enables implementation of different signal topologies such as dual SP3T, triple SP2T or 2 x 3 matrix.

An external 5.0 V logic supply and high voltage 75 V bias source is required for operation.
