DC-100kHz Driver for NanoSpeed™ Variable Optic Attenuator

This NS series of fast-speed drivers is designed to control the NS series of solid state variable optic attenuators (VOA). The push-pull output design is especially suitable for driving capacitive VOA loads, assuring fast response time both on rising and falling of attenuation. The driver can be operated by a 0-5V signal to control the attenuation of VOA. The standard driver controls one individual VOA. Drivers controlling multiple VOAs are also available, please call Sales at (781) 935-1200 for more information. We make custom electronic circuits for all application scenarios

Integration and compatibility

Use these checks to connect DC-100kHz Driver for NanoSpeed™ Variable Optic Attenuator to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.

Optical interface and fiber
Connector: SMA, Special
Specify connector polish and fiber architecture together. FC/PC, FC/APC and SMA interfaces, and single-mode, multimode and polarization-maintaining fibers, impose different return-loss, mode-field and alignment requirements.
Control interface
Driver series: NanoSpeed variable optical attenuator (VOA) driver · Control input: 0 ~ 5 V analog signal
Match supply voltage, analog or digital command range, connector pinout and default optical state to the instrument interlock. Confirm the unpowered state explicitly — it decides what happens to the link on a power failure.
