AD5380
OPTICAL ATTENUATORS
Based on its high channel count, high resolution, monotonic
behavior, and high level of integration, the AD5380 is ideally
targeted at optical attenuation applications used in dynamic
gain equalizers, variable optical attenuators (VOA), and optical
add-drop multiplexers (OADM). In these applications, each
wavelength is individually extracted using an arrayed wave
guide; its power is monitored using a photodiode, transim-
pedance amplifier and ADC in a closed-loop control system.

The AD5380 controls the optical attenuator for each
wavelength, ensuring that the power is equalized in all
wavelengths before being multiplexed onto the fiber. This
prevents information loss and saturation from occurring at
amplification stages further along the fiber.
