From Friday, April 19th (11:00 PM CDT) through Saturday, April 20th (2:00 PM CDT), 2024, ni.com will undergo system upgrades that may result in temporary service interruption.
We appreciate your patience as we improve our online experience.
It would be great if NI could release a multiplexer (at least 1:8 ideally) based on MEMS switches, which allow for signals from real DC to ~ 10GHz (I'm thinking Analog Devices ADGM1304) and have ~ 1e9 endurance, about 100 times better than standard relays.
Thank you for the feedback - we will take this into account as we look at possible investments. From a MEMS switch module, would the frequency range or expected lifespan be more valuable to you? There could be a tradeoff here between frequency range and cost, when comparing MEMS relays vs. solid-state relays which both optimize for relay life over EMR or reed.
