Image of Menlo Microsystems MM5230 Wide Frequency SP4T Micro-Mechanical Switch The Menlo Micro MM5230 device is a high-power and wide-frequency range SP4T micro-mechanical switch. Menlo Micro has developed an 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 power handling.

The MM5230 provides ultra-low insertion loss and superior linearity as an SP4T from DC to 18 GHz and greater than 3 billion switching cycles. The MM5230 can also be configured in Super-Port mode Whichextends the frequency operation to 26 GHz. The MM5230 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.
