DC-20kHz Driver for NanoSpeed™ Variable Optic Attenuator
The NS VOA Driver provides driving signals for the NS series solid-state VOAs. The push-pull output design ensures fast switching time for both rising and falling edges, and it is especially suitable for driving capacitive VOA loads. The standard driver controls one individual VOA. Drivers that control multiple VOAs are also available, please call Sales at (781) 935-1200 for more information. We make custom electronic circuits for all application scenarios
