temperature, the set-point temperature error is independent
of this reference voltage. This is because the internal
temperature measurement network also uses this voltage as
the reference, the errors in setting the temperature and
measuring the temperature cancel with each other, setting the
object temperature with higher stability. This reference can
also be utilized by an ADC (Analog to Digital Converter),
for the same reason, the measurement error will also be
independent of the reference voltage, resulting in a more
accurate measurement.
Figure 2 is the real size top view of the controller showing
the pin names and locations. The functions of all the pins are
shown in Table 1.
Warning: This controller module can only be soldered
manually on the board by a solder iron at < 310°C
(590°F), it cannot go through a reflow oven process.
The TECA1-XV-XV-D is packaged in a 6 sided metal
enclosure, which blocks EMIs (Electro-Magnetic
Interferences) to prevent the controller and other electronics
from interfering with each other.

The TECA1-XV-XV-D TEC controller can come with an
internal compensation network for stabilizing the
temperature control loop. The compensation network with
the default values shown in Figure 4 matches most of the
commonly used butter-fly packaged TEC thermal loads. The
part number TECA1LD-XV-XV-D, with the “LD” suffix,
stands for the controller with an internal compensation
network; while the part number TECA1-XV-XV-D, without
the “LD” suffix, stands for the controller without the internal
compensation network and external compensation network
will be required for the controller to operate. The
compensation network is made of 5 components: 3 resistors
and 2 capacitors. This network can be implemented either
internally by embedding them into the controller circuitries
inside the controller enclosure or externally by soldering the
5 components on the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) on which
the TEC controller is mounted. Implementing the network
externally is highly recommended since it can be modified
for driving different thermal load and/or the thermal load
characteristics is not certain or fixed at the early design stage.
The part number TECA1LD-XV-XV-D denotes the
controller with an internal compensation network, the values
of the components in the network are either the default
values shown in Figure 4 or the values specified in the part
number, the naming rules are shown in Table 3.

DESCRIPTION
The TECA1-XV-XV-D is an electronic module designed for
driving TECs (Thermo-Electric Coolers) with high stability
in regulating the object temperature, high energy efficiency,
zero EMI, and small package. Figure 1 is the photo of an
actual TECA1-XV-XV-D TEC controller.
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 the high
order thermal load and thus stabilizes the 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).
When using this reference for setting the set-point
