MAX1978ETM Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX1978ETM from Analog Devices is a compact and accurate single-chip temperature controller specifically designed for Peltier thermoelectric cooler (TEC) modules. It integrates power FETs and thermal control-loop circuitry, minimizing the need for external components and reducing the overall circuit footprint and height.

 

This controller operates from a single 3V to 5.5V supply and provides bipolar ±3A output, enabling precise temperature control without dead zones or nonlinearities at low load currents. It features selectable 500kHz/1MHz switching frequencies and a unique ripple-cancellation scheme to optimize component size, efficiency, and reduce noise. The ultra-low-drift chopper amplifier ensures a temperature stability of ±0.001°C.

 

The MAX1978ETM includes integrated precision integrator and chopper-stabilized op amps, allowing for PI or PID control loops. The instrumentation amplifier can interface with external sensors like NTC/PTC thermistors or thermocouples. Analog outputs are provided to monitor TEC temperature and current, with separate overtemperature and undertemperature outputs for protection.

 

Available in a 48-lead TQFN package, the MAX1978ETM is specified for operation over a -40°C to +85°C temperature range. Its applications include temperature control for fiber optic laser modules, WDM/DWDM laser-diode temperature control, and fiber optic network equipment.
