This module provides interface ports for users to set the desired object temperature, i.e. set-point temperature; the maximum output voltage across TEC; and the compensation network. The compensation network compensates high order thermal load and thus stabilizes temperature control loop.
It provides these functions: thermistor T-R curve linearization, temperature measurement and monitoring, temperature control loop status indication, TEC voltage monitoring, power up delay, and shut down.
The TECA1-xV-xV-D comes with a high stability low noise 3.0V voltage reference, which can be used for setting the desired object temperature by using a POT (Potentiometer) or a DAC (Digital to Analog Converter).
