The Compact Pulsed Hadron Source (CPHS) has launched at Tsinghua University to develop a university neutron source based on a 13 MeV, 50 mA proton linac which consists of ECR ion source, LEBT, RFQ and DTL. The primary design of the DTL for the CPHS is presented in this paper, which includes the dynamics calculation, RF field optimization and error analysis. This DTL can accelerate 50 mA proton beam from 3MeV to 13 MeV with 1.2 MW RF power input. The DTL is directly connected after RFQ without Medium-Energy Beam-Transport line (MEBT). PMQs are adopted in drift tubes focusing. The magnetic field gradient of PMQs are programmed to match the transverse restoring forces at the end of the RFQ to avoid missmatch and avoid parametric resonances.
