DC-1MHz 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 times on both the 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 and custom electronic circuits are available upon request.
