Laser Temperature Control Loop Achieving Setpoint Stability of 0.01°C
The LTC
®
1923 is a pulse width modulator intended for
thermoelectric cooler (TEC) or heater applications requir-
ing either unidirectional or bidirectional drive circuits. All
of the necessary control circuitry and two sets of comple-
mentary output drivers are integrated into the LTC1923 to
drive a full bridge, providing an efficient means of bidirec-
tional 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 accu-
racy of 0.1°C is achievable with the LTC1923. Adding an
instrumentation amplifier front end allows setpoint stabil-
ity 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 am-
plifiers and a host of auxiliary circuits to protect the laser
and provide redundant system monitoring.
