MEMS 16x16 Matrix Switch is an integrated switch module based on MEMS 1x16 Optical Switch components. Thirty-two MEMS 1x16 switches, sixteen for inputs and the other sixteen for outputs, are interconnected to form a fully non-blocking, two stage, optical cross-connect. Under this matrix switch platform, different MEMS 1xN switches can be used to form customized MxN Switch Matrices.
Pin Assignmentsï¼?
The MEMS 1xN Switch operates through a 16-pin interface. Pin assignments are listed in the following table. The relative position of each pin is presented in Figure 1.
