The DTL23A is an isolated (500Vdc), near-ideal (Zin = ZOUT >= 10MΩ), analog/voltage-controlled current sink. Its 0-2.0A ouput/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 (PLCs) or analog-output computer I/O boards (D/A boards). The DTL23A supports any combination of IOUT = 0-2.0 Amps and VOUT = 2.5-200 Volts. Its thermally effcient, metal package, when properly heat sunk, can dissipate output/load power up to 100 Watts.
