Product Summary
Menlo Microsystems' high-speed loopback switches are high-performance differential signaling switches that utilize their proprietary MEMS technology, "Ideal Switch®". Designed for evaluation, verification, and manufacturing testing of high-speed interfaces including PCIe Gen 5, PCIe Gen 6, and SerDes, they integrate high-speed loopback functionality into a single package.
While conventional electromagnetic relays (EMRs) can achieve high signal quality, they have limitations in terms of size, power consumption, switching speed, and lifespan. Menlo Microsystems' Ideal Switch® technology combines the RF performance of electromagnetic relays with the miniaturization and high-speed operation of solid-state switches, providing a solution suitable for high-speed data communication testing.
Supporting high-speed (HS), medium-speed (MS), and low-speed (LS) paths, this single device can handle everything from high-speed signal testing to DC parametric testing. Furthermore, its built-in AC-coupled capacitors and high-density mounting design contribute to simplified PCB design.
Product features
■ High-speed switching
High-speed switching of less than 30 μs contributes to reducing test time compared to conventional electromagnetic relays.
■ Ultra-long life and high reliability
It achieves a switching life of over 3 billion cycles, contributing to reduced maintenance costs and equipment downtime.
■ Low power consumption
Power consumption is less than 10mW, achieving significant power savings compared to conventional electromagnetic relays.
■ Small package
It adopts an 8.2mm x 8.2mm LGA package, supporting high-density mounting and an increased number of test channels.
Product lineup
Menlo Microsystems offers a range of high-speed loopback switches for high-speed digital test and loopback applications. Product selection can be based on communication speed and coupling method.
