VSC7170XYQ-01

Working Principle

The working principle behind the VSC7170XYQ-01 is based on the use of two transistors, which are used in a cascode configuration. The transistors act as a voltage-controlled switch, allowing the voltage between the drain and source terminals to be controlled. The transistors are connected to a voltage source, and when the source voltage is increased, the transistors will reduce the current flow and thus the drain-source voltage will be reduced. When the source voltage is decreased, the transistors will increase the current flow and the drain-source voltage will be increased. This configuration allows the user to precisely control the voltage between the drain and source terminals, thus enabling the switching of optical signals to their intended destination.
