MEMS again

On-State Insertion Loss is only stated at 6Ghz. I'd be interested to know what it is closer to the top end. A graph would be better, though.

Ignore that! They did provide one; must have somehow missed it first time.

All the parts can only cold switch. That would seem to be a problem, especially for the power parts. How do you cold switch a circuit breaker?

The two killers of MEMS relays have always been contacts frying and contacts sticking.

Holy crap, I didn't spot that! Big downer.

I'd love a good small-signal MEMS relay. No semiconductor switch can touch its Ron*Coff time constant, and free isolation is cool too. Even a 90 cent telecom relay wins there.

Those Menlo things can probably hot switch low level analog stuff.

I recently used a bunch of Analog Devices switches, ADRF5024, to switch some pulses around. Had to characterize them ourselves for DC operation... ADI was no help. They work fine, for $108 each.

The signals come in at right angles, which dominated the whole PCB layout. Some really tiny SPST switches would be cool... put them anywhere. I like single opamps for the same reason.
