Electronic Design UPDATE edited by Richard Gawel, Managing Editor
Companies have been trying for years to make a fast, reliable MEMS switch that not only can switch quickly but also work at the upper microwave frequencies. Many efforts have resulted in products that didn't meet the demandng specifications and reliablilty needs for test and communications applications. Now, TeraVicta Technologies has some MEMS switches that address the need for a tiny relay replacement.
