Hot Switching
Hot switching cycle lifetime is an important characteristic of mechanical switch robustness, which is based on power being applied across the device when being switched. This slide focuses on a hot-switching comparison analysis between the ADGM1004 MEMS Switch and a typical RF Relay, showing the Average, or 50% Mean Cycle Before Failure and also 1% Mean Cycle Before Failure specification levels. The conclusion is that the ADGM1004 has a vastly higher level of hot-switching performance at below 10 dBm power levels, and superior hot-switching performance up to 20 dBm power levels. At above 20 dBm hot-switching, the ADGM1004 hot-switching cycle lifetime starts to reduce below typical RF Relays. Also, note that the ADGM1304 has similar hot-switching performance characteristics as the ADGM1004.
