Menlo Micro Releases MM5622 Ideal Switch to Production

­Menlo Micro released to production a new differential double-pole/triple-throw (2x DP3T) switch at European Microwave Week in Paris, France this week. Built on the success of Menlo Micro’s industry-leading MM5620 2x DP3T loopback relay, the MM5622 provides a DC-coupled version with improved RF performance. Offering unprecedented reductions in size and power consumption and unmatched increases in performance and reliability, the MM5622 will bring significant cost savings to a much broader segment of the high-speed SerDes market.

The switch’s system-in-package (SiP) solution fully integrates a driver, charge pump, and 12 high performance switch channels, offering significant board footprint reduction for production loopback test solutions. The MM5622 Ideal Switch® supports the differential signal switching required for numerous high-speed SerDes buses to 64Gbps data-rates, with applications for smartphones, GPU, CPU, network processors, as well as other high-performance computing and high-speed memory products.
