The SM7013L is part of the SMIP II family, offering the extensive control
and interfacing features provided by SMIP II. Microwave relay
technology has been pioneered to offer density, modularity and cost
benefits.
The SM7013L houses three microwave 20 GHz latching, self-terminated
SPDT relays and has the option of adding up to two SP6T 20 GHz
latching, self-terminated switches. In order to drive additional
RF/Microwave components, such as attenuators, 32 SPST relays (nonlatching)
are also provided per SM7013L.
Each switch includes isolated indicator circuitry, allowing the status of the
relays to be read directly via the VXI backplane, even after power is
cycled, this allows users to determine the relay position.
For applications where a higher mixture of self-terminated SPDT and
multi-position switches are needed, the SM7001L and SM7012L modules
are recommended.
