Datel DTL22A
The DTL22A is an isolated (500Vdc), near-ideal (ZIN = ZOUT ≥ 10MΩ), analog/ voltage-controlled current sink. Its 0-20A output/load current is straightforwardly "programmed" by applying a 0-10V input. The control signal can be generated by circuits as simple as the wiper of a trimpot or as sophisticated as programmable logic controllers (PLC’s) or analog-output computer I/O boards (D/A boards).FEATURES

● Power-supply test and characterization Static/dynamic power-supply burn-in Power-resistor substitution Real-time load simulation Capacitor discharge testing The DTL22A supports any combination of IOUT = 0-20 Amps and VOUT = 2.5-50 Volts. Its thermally efficient, metal package, when properly heat sunk, can dissipate output/load power up to 100 Watts. The easy-to-use DTL22A is an excellent building block for low-cost, fully flexible, power-supply (AC/DC or DC/DC) or power-component (MOSFET’s, diodes, etc.) test and burn-in applications. It is accurate (±5mA offset error, ±1% overall accuracy), fast (200µsec full-scale step response), and capable of impressive resolution.
