Switches
Mercury's PIN diode switch portfolio spans the frequency range of
0.5–40 GHz. They offer both high-performance and integrated high-
speed, driver-controlled TTL or CMOS signals in a compact package.
These switches serve as a drop-in device for system or subsystem
requirements and are proven in critical applications.
