The LTC1923 is a pulse width modulator intended for thermoelectric cooler (TEC) or heater applications requiring either unidirectional or bidirectional drive circuits. All of the necessary control circuitry and two sets of complementary output drivers are integrated into the LTC1923 to drive a full bridge, providing an efficient means of bidirectional current flow to the TEC. An accurate temperature control loop to stabilize the temperature of a laser diode system is easily achieved with the addition of just a few external components. Typical temperature setpoint accuracy of 0.1°C is achievable with the LTC1923. Adding an instrumentation amplifier front end allows setpoint stability of 0.01°C.

The part features independent adjustable heating and cooling pulse-by-pulse current limit, current soft-start for controlled start-up, output slew rate control to reduce system noise, differential current sense and voltage amplifiers and a host of auxiliary circuits to protect the laser and provide redundant system monitoring.

Product Detail

Demonstration circuit DC388 utilizes the LTC1923 thermoelectric cooler (TEC) controller. It provides a complete temperature control solution for TEC based temperature control of fiber-optic lasers. Laser temperature may be controlled at temperatures above or below ambient with set point stability typically well within .05º C over widely varying ambient temperature. Temperature set point is established with a screwdriver driven potentiometer or a 14-bit on-board DAC. Considerably more detail relating to TEC temperature control issues is available in LTC Application Note AN-89, “A Thermoelectric Cooler Temperature Controller for Fiber Optic Lasers.” This publication should be reviewed before demo board results are evaluated.
