CF2140 · Performance & ROI

What's your switch count?

The CF2140 is built around what design teams ask for most: more board space, fewer board iterations, and true galvanic isolation. Enter your numbers to see the ROI versus a reed relay + driver solution.

Total relay channels required on a single board.

Each extra re-spin avoided is modeled at ~$100 in engineering and prototype cost.

Standard semiconductor switches can't offer this — only mechanical relays and the CF2140 can.

CF2140 cost based on published unit pricing (4 channels per IC). Legacy relay cost includes reed relay + Darlington driver pair, board area at ≈30¢/mm² reclaimed (incl. thermal keep-out zone), and ~$100 in engineering cost per board re-spin avoided. Actual results vary by board layout, relay grade, and BOM. This is a planning estimate, not a quote.
