This unit

The Datron 4600 Transconductance Amplifier extends the current sourcing capabilities of Datron calibrators and standards, delivering precision current generation up to 11A DC or RMS AC. It operates in two modes: Slave Mode integrates with Datron 4700 series calibrators for automated control via the Autocal technique, while Solo Mode functions as a standalone amplifier driven by external voltage sources. The unit converts voltage input to current output at a 1:1 transfer characteristic (1A output per 1V input). This dual-mode architecture suits calibration laboratories and metrology applications requiring high-current generation with verifiable accuracy across frequency ranges from 10 Hz to 20 kHz.

Key Features

Transfer characteristic of 1A output per 1V input in Solo Mode

Programmable output via calibrator front panel or IEEE-488 interface (Slave Mode)

Autocal-based automated recalibration capability

Requires specific lead kit (Datron Part Number 440151) for Slave Mode operation

Compatibility & Integration Slave Mode supports Datron 4700 series calibrators (firmware 5.0 and above), including models 4707, 4705, and 4708. Solo Mode operates with any suitable external voltage source.
