Specifically designed for high-power scenarios, MM5230 represents the newest addition to an expanding lineup of compact, ultra-high-performance RF switches.
Menlo Microsystems, Inc. (Menlo Micro) has officially launched the MM5230, which can handle up to 25 watts of continuous power and 150 watts of pulsed power.
The MM5230 allows for seamless integration into diverse system architectures by maintaining a compact 2.5 mm x 2.5 mm footprint without taking up significant board space.
Chris Giovanniello – Co-Founder, and SVP of Digital and RF Business Units, Menlo Microsystems highlights in an exclusive interview with Embedded the notable advances in performance, as well as the high-power applications of these devices.
Suitable Applications
In a recent conversation, the Menlo Micro team provided details on developments that are impacting how the MM5230 presents a reliable and efficient alternative for high-power applications.
The two key industries that have a large number of applications benefiting from what the MM5230 has to offer are aerospace & defense, and also test & measurement.
Giovanniello claimed: “Our aerospace & defense customers are taking advantage of the high-power handling capability of the MM5230. It’s unique to have four channels in such a small form factor (6.25 mm2) that can handle such an enormous amount of power, from 25 watts CW and 150 watts of pulse power.”
