High Speed Loopback Switches ᐅ Menlo Micro's Ideal Switch

All functions enabled with a single, flexible, high-performance relay.

High-Speed Path (HS) allows for full compliance at speed testing with DUT loopback

Med-Speed Path (MS) allows for scan and digital patterns sourced from ATE.

Low-Speed Path (LS) allows for full DC parametric testing from ATE

There is no need for dual-insertion testing.

All critical routing is built in with AC coupling caps, drastically simplifying layout for PCB designers, and easing SI challenges at high-speeds.
