DATEL’s new DTL2A-LC is an optically isolated, digitally programmable, serial-input electronic load designed for use in burn-in, characterization and test of today’s low-voltage power supplies and power components. The DTL2A-LC is essentially a digitally controlled current source that can sink currents from 0 to 20 Amps, at loading voltages as low as 0.6 Volts, up to a maximum power of 100 Watts.
