Designed for true differential signal multiplexing and is changing the paradigm for testing next-generation high-speed ICs

Irvine, California, November 11, 2021--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Menlo Microsystems, Inc. (Menlo Micro), known for reinventing electronic switches using Ideal Switch™ technology, announced today Officially certified and released the product MM5600. This new product is a unique double-pole double-throw (DPDT) switch that provides the industry's highest performance and data for high-speed differential switching applications including next-generation artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and GPU Speed/CPU, data center and cloud-based applications, as well as automatic test equipment (ATE) device interface boards and high-speed computer peripheral interfaces.

Chris Giovanniello, co-founder and senior vice president of marketing of Menlo Micro, said: "MM5600 is a technology that supports the production test and characterization of a large number of next-generation high-speed digital interfaces. "This is an important milestone for Menlo, following the fourth quarter of 2020. After successfully launching our MM5130, we put the second product into mass production. Our standard process design kit (PDK) developed for Ideal Switch allows us to significantly accelerate the introduction of new, unique products to multiple end markets. "

The MM5600 DPDT switch provides high-speed operation from DC to 20 GHz or 40 Gbps, which is significantly better than traditional electromechanical (EM) relays and solid state switches. The MM5600 provides a first-class differential switching solution for high-speed digital applications based on the latest PCI Express standard PCIe Gen 5. Its interconnect speed is double the PCIe 4.0 specification (32 Gigatransfers per second to 16 GT/s). The MM5600 switch can also be configured as Single-ended operation for radio frequency and microwave applications. Its flexible configuration supports internal differential crossover function, which greatly simplifies circuit board wiring.

Menlo Micro's MM5600 represents several important industry firsts:

Fast switching: MM5600's ultra-fast switching speed (< 10 µs operation time and <2 µs release time) is 1000 times faster than EM relays, which can shorten test time and reduce test costs.

Reliability: MM5600 provides unparalleled reliability and can run more than 3 billion switching cycles, thereby reducing downtime, maintenance and costs. Compared with traditional EM relays, the service life is extended by 1000 times.

Compact design: MM5600's small size/thin design (8 mm x 8 mm x 1.6 mm QFN package) compared with traditional EM relay solutions, the size is reduced by 90%. This significant reduction enables more parallel testing and easier top and/or bottom wiring.

Power efficiency: The operating power of MM5600 is less than 0.08 mW. Compared with the EM relay, the power consumption is reduced by 99%, making it the most energy-efficient high-speed DPDT switching solution.

Leading IP3 linearity: MM5600 achieves an IP3 linearity of more than 90 dBm and a power handling capability of 33 dBm, which can greatly reduce distortion. Compared with existing EM relays and solid-state switches, the performance is improved by up to 10,000 times. IP3 is the quality factor that determines how much distortion the switch will introduce into the system and affect the quality of the transmission or reception signal.

According to the latest analysis by Wedbush Securities, Apple is expected to sell more than 40 million iPhones during Black Friday and Christmas.

(Reuters)-Qualcomm said on Tuesday that it expects chip sales to Apple to drop to a trickle in the next few years, but it expects chips for self-driving cars and other connected devices to grow rapidly, with its stock price rising 4.5%. Qualcomm currently provides all modem chips that connect Apple devices to mobile data networks, but Apple is developing its own modem chips. At an investor conference in New York, Qualcomm executives stated that they expect to supply only 20% of Apple's modem chips when the iPhone is launched in 2023.

(Reuters)-Qualcomm said on Tuesday that German automaker BMW will use its chips in its next-generation driver assistance and autonomous driving systems. Qualcomm, headquartered in San Diego, is the world's largest supplier of mobile phone chips, but has been diversifying its business. More than one-third of its chip sales come from sources other than mobile phone manufacturers. Before Qualcomm announced BMW’s victory, it detailed how the company cooperated with companies such as Meta Platforms Inc to develop virtual reality hardware and cooperated with Microsoft to develop Windows laptops using Qualcomm chips.

Investors once believed that Qualcomm’s wealth rose and fell with Apple’s iPhone, which uses a key "modem" chip from San Diego to connect to mobile data networks. But as Qualcomm prepares to outline its chip plans in everything from virtual reality headsets to self-driving cars to telecommunications equipment in Tuesday’s investor speech, analysts said that Apple is about to lose money and the company is developing its own chips. Replacement of Qualcomm may not have much impact on Qualcomm's profits. Bernstein analyst Stacy Ragson wrote in a report: "Frankly speaking, revenue has reached the point where there is much less concern about Apple's possible move."
