1x2/2x2 Switch Driver for MEMS 1D/2D, CL, LB, FFSW

The SW-DR-5 is a compact electrical driver compatible with LightBend™, Fiber-Fiber™, MEMS, and CrystalLatch™ 1×2/2×2 switches. We have three control modes: manual push-button, TTL, USB with a user-friendly GUI Windows™ program. It is intended for convenient laboratory use or switch performance evaluation. The compact driver has a plastic molded holder to prevent shorting and a mini-USB connector for powering and control interface. A 5-PIN split cable is available for TTL input upon request. It can be powered by the accompanied USB cable via a computer or a 5V cellphone wall plug power supply. It is designed as a cost-effective solution for ease of using our switches and popular with a large number of customers around the world. The driver is available only as part of the switch configuration and is not sold separately, as it is not designed for customer installation.
