Analog Devices Inc. ADGM1304 & ADGM1004 SP4T MEMS Switches
Analog Devices ADGM1304 and ADGM1004 Single-Pole, Four-Throw (SP4T) MEMS Switches feature RF-MEMS switch technology. This state-of-the-art technology enables the ADGM1304/ADGM1004 SP4T MEMS Switches to provide a relay replacement solution that is 95% smaller, 30 times faster, 10 times more reliable, and uses 10 times less power than conventional electromechanical relays.The ADGM1304 and ADGM1004 MEMS Switches have a micro mechanical structure with a cantilever beam design and hermetically sealed switch contacts. The switching element has a highly conditioned, extremely reliable metal-to-metal contact. A co-packaged, low-voltage, standard-logic compatible driver IC generates the high-voltage required to internally electrostatically actuate the switch. All four switches are also independently controlled for maximum flexibility. The ADGM1004 Switch is optimized with a 2.5kV HBM ESD rating.
These highly linear, low-insertion loss switches that operate from 0Hz/DC up to 14GHz and 13GHz, respectively. Performance specifications include 30µs switching speed, 13/11GHz 3dB bandwidth, 1.6Ω Ron and 1.6pF Coff, 36dBm power handling, typical 24dB @ 2.5GHz isolation, a minimum of 1 billion actuations, 69dBm linearity, and 30µs settling time.
