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). 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. If it is
controlled with a 12-bit, 0-10V D/A converter, for example, one LSB (least significant
bit) of the D/A corresponds to a 5mA change in the DTL22A’s output/load current.
The DTL22A is packaged in a small (2" x 2" x 0.5"), thermally efficient metal
package incorporating an aluminum baseplate with threaded inserts. It is powered by
a single +5V supply and draws a mere 150mA.
The DTL22A has an output compliance voltage of 2.5-50 Volts. Should the
output/load voltage drop below the 2.5V required for proper biasing, an internal
monitoring circuit activates the DTL22A’s output Fault line. See DATEL’s DTL22A-LC
for compliance voltages as low as 0.6V.
The DTL22A and other electronic loads, controller boards, and software from
DATEL are outstanding building-block components for power-supply burn-in and test
systems. They are extremely reliable, cost-effective solutions that enable you to
quickly configure impressively accurate systems.

generated by a 12-bit D/A converter with a 0-10V output range. One LSB (least significant bit) of the D/A
corresponds to 0.0244% (1/4096) of full scale (20 Amps), which equals approximately 5mA.
➁ Offset error is defined as the current sunk/sourced by the DTL22A’s output, under any output-voltage
conditions, when the applied control voltage is 0 Volts.
➂ Applies over all ranges/combinations of specified output current, load voltage, output power,
operating temperature and VCC.
➃ For proper operation, the DTL22A's output voltage must remain within the range listed. Voltages greater
than the listed maximum can damage the device. Voltages less than the listed minimum provide
insufficient bias for the output stage and will result in unpredictable or no operation. See Ouput
Compliance Voltage and the Fault Line for details.
➄ The DTL22A can achieve its maximum output/load power only when its baseplate temperature is
properly maintained. See Temperature Derating.

Overview
The DTL22A is an analog programmable (0 to +10V control) current sink. It’s
output/load current range is 0 to 20 Amps over a compliance voltage range
of 2.5 to 50 Volts and an output/load power range of 0 to 100 Watts. The
device’s transfer function is as follows:
Iout (Amps) = 2VIN (Volts)
Examples: Control VIN = 1 Volt, IOUT = 2 Amps
Control VIN = 10 Volts, IOUT = 20 Amps
In a typical power-supply test or burn-in application, the "positive" output and
"return" pins of the device under test (DUT) are connected to the DTL22A’s
+Load (pins 10 and 11) and –Load (pins 8 and 9) outputs.

Thermal Considerations
TECHNICAL NOTES
Output Compliance Voltage and the Fault Line
For proper operation, the DTL22A’s output/load voltage must always be
between 2.5 and 50 Volts. The device cannot be used to directly load
extremely low-voltage (such as 1.5V or 1.8V) power components or to
simulate a true short circuit (0 Volts). Voltages greater than 50V can damage
the device. Voltages <2.5V will result in insufficient biasing of the output
current source and consequently unpredictable or no operation. Accordingly,
we have installed an internal output/load-voltage monitoring circuit. If the
output/load voltage drops below 2.5V and the DTL22A’s output is at risk of
becoming disabled, the Fault line activates.
The Fault line is an active-low function with an open-collector output (internal
10kΩ pull-up resistor to +5V). Under normal conditions, its output is high
(logic "1"). Under fault conditions (VOUT < 2.5V), its output drops to a logic "0."
There is no output/load-voltage monitoring circuit for voltages greater than
50V, and operation above 50V can damage the device.
An "offset supply" can be inserted between the DTL22A’s –Load output (pins
8 and 9) and the power device under test (DUT) to "translate" the DTL22A’s
47.5V output/load voltage range. The offset supply must have adequate
current capabilities and be connected with the polarities indicated in Figure
2 below. Under no circumstances should the voltage across the DTL22A’s
output be allowed to experience a polarity reversal.
If a 5V/20A offset supply is inserted as shown, the range of DUT voltages will
be –2.5 to +45 Volts. Such a configuration can be used for true short-circuit
testing. A mechanical relay can be used to short the outputs of the DUT
while the offset supply ensures the DTL22A always sees at least 5 Volts
across its outputs.
The DTL22A can reliably handle 100W loads if its aluminum baseplate temperature is maintained at or below +50°C. With no heat sinking or auxiliary
cooling, the device can only handle loads up to 10 Watts. Please refer to
the Temperature Derating Curve for additional information. DATEL’s Electronic
Load Applications Engineers can assist you in developing heat-sink solutions
for your higher-power DTL22A applications. Contact us for details about our
DTL-HS100D12 heat sinks.
Constant-Resistance Application
The DTL22A operates as a constant-current electronic load in its typical
configuration. A constant-resistance mode of operation can be achieved as
follows:
The DTL22A has a high-impedance, isolated analog input that permits the
inputs to be connected directly across the load. The DTL22A sinks 20 Amps
for a 10 Volt full-scale input or I = 2 × VIN. If you make VIN = VLOAD, (the
voltage across the load), then R = VLOAD /I = VLOAD / (2 × VLOAD ) = 0.5 Ohms.
Consequently, the load looks like a 0.5 Ohm resistor.
Furthermore, if you make VIN = k × VLOAD by connecting a potentiometer or
resistive divider across the load, then R = VLOAD / (2 × k × VLOAD) = 0.5/k.
Adjusting the potentiometer effectively gives you an adjustable power resistor. At k = 0.5, R = 1 Ohm; at k = 0.25, R = 2 Ohms, etc. The only
limitations you must observe are the maximum load voltage (50V) and the
maximum100 Watt power dissipation. A multiplying digtal-to-analog converter
or a digital potentiometer can also be used to effectively make a programmable resistance.
