Menlo Micro MM5120 DC to 18GHz High-Power SP4T RF Switch

Menlo Micro MM5120 DC to 18GHz High-Power SP4T RF Switch is a high-power, single pole four throw switch built on Ideal Switch® technology and capable of 25W power transfer. The MM5120 provides ultra-low insertion loss and superior linearity, with greater than 3 billion switching cycles. The MM5120 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 MM5120 features an integrated driver circuit with SPI and GPIO interface control options and an integrated charge pump to drive the gate.

The Menlo Micro MM5120 SP4T RF Switch is available in a 5.2mm x 4.2mm LGA package and is RoHS compliant.
