Menlo Microsystems (Menlo Micro) has announced the release of the new MM1205 6x SPST (Single Pole Single Throw), the latest development of the company’s proprietary Ideal Switch technology that’s equipped with an integrated relay driver and charge pump.
The MM1205 is a single component that combines the high isolation of a traditional low-signal mechanical relay and the reliability of a semiconductor relay, designed to provide improved DC, analog, and RF performances. It offers flexible configuration capabilities, including 6x SPST, 2x SP3T, 3x SP2T, and 1x SP6T.
MM1205 6x SPST DC and Analog Performance:
— DC contact rating of 1 amp for up to 38 volts per channel (2A total package)
— Stable contact resistance over cycles and temperature
— Very low off-state capacitance (45 fF, typical), off-state leakage current (250 fA, typical), and fast switching time (17 µs, typical)
— Can enhance high-density relay matrix signal distribution application performances, throughput, and efficiency
RF Performance:
— Frequency response from DC to 3 GHz
— RF power handling up to 25 W (CW), 200 W (pulsed)
— Expanded application versatility with higher frequency signal integrity and capacity
Reliability:
— More than three billion relay switching cycles
— Can reduce relay population replacement costs accumulated from usage rate and operating life over application life
— Decreased application cost of ownership with lower downtime and maintenance costs
Power Efficiency:
— Low DC power consumption (10 mW, typical)
— Realizing energy-efficiency, eco-friendly mandates for large-scale, high-density, AI (Artificial Intelligence) driven automated applications
Compact Design:
— Small footprint (64 mm2) and compact volume (128 mm3) integrating six-channels of SPST
— Enables high-density, large-scale applications throughput and operating efficiency in achieving power consumption efficiency and cost savings
“Developers of medical, industrial, telecommunications, scientific, and test equipment applications are seeking innovative and elegant relay solutions that distribute DC, analog, and high frequency signals more efficiently, transparently, repeatable, eco-friendly, and reliably, while achieving lowest cost of ownership for large-scale high-density boards and energy-efficient designs.” says Chris Giovanniello, co-founder and senior VP of sales and marketing at Menlo Micro. “The MM1205 relay is the culmination of Menlo Micro’s best signal relay designs and the preferred relay technology enabler for DC, analog, and high frequency applications.”
