Description
The fully-integrated 5200-Series 64 x 64 MEMSbased optical switch component for optical networking systems features scalable, 3D MEMS architecture. It offers 64 input and 64 output ports in a small
form factor, and contains the control and feedback
electronics needed to be easily incorporated into a
system.
The 64 x 64 MEMS optical switch module utilizes
moving micromirrors capable of manipulating light,
eliminating the need for OEO conversions, and
resulting in bit-rate and protocol independence.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are absolute stress ratings only. Functional operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in excess
of those given in the operational sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended
periods can adversely affect device reliability.
