TEC VOLTAGE/CURRENT MONITOR

The TEC real-time voltage and current are detectable at VTEC

and ITEC, respectively.

Voltage Monitor

VTEC is an analog voltage output pin with a voltage proportional

to the actual voltage across the TEC. A center VTEC voltage of

1.25 V corresponds to 0 V across the TEC. Convert the voltage

at VTEC and the voltage across the TEC using the following

equation:

VVTEC = 1.25 V + 0.25 × (VLDR − VSFB)

Current Monitor

ITEC is an analog voltage output pin with a voltage proportional

to the actual current through the TEC. A center ITEC voltage of

1.25 V corresponds to 0 A through the TEC. Convert the

voltage at ITEC and the current through the TEC using the

following equations:

VITEC_COOLING = 1.25 V + ILDR × RCS

where the current sense gain (RCS) is 0.525 V/A.

VITEC_HEATING = 1.25 V − ILDR × RCS

MAXIMUM TEC VOLTAGE LIMIT

The maximum TEC voltage is set by applying a voltage divider

at the VLIM/SD pin to protect the TEC. The voltage limiter

operates bidirectionally and allows the cooling limit to be

different from the heating limit.

Using a Resistor Divider to Set the TEC Voltage Limit

Separate voltage limits are set using a resistor divider. The

internal current sink circuitry connected to VLIM/SD draws a

current when the ADN8834 drives the TEC in a heating direction,

which lowers the voltage at VLIM/SD. The current sink is not

active when the TEC is driven in a cooling direction; therefore,

the TEC heating voltage limit is always lower than the cooling

voltage limit.

Figure 31. Using a Resistor Divider to Set the TEC Voltage Limit

Calculate the cooling and heating limits using the following

equations:

VVLIM_COOLING = VREF × RV2/(RV1 +RV2)

where VREF = 2.5 V.

VVLIM_HEATING = VVLIM_COOLING − ISINK_VLIM × RV1||RV2

where ISINK_VLIM = 10 µA.

VTEC_MAX_COOLING = VVLIM_COOLING × AVLIM

where AVLIM = 2 V/V.

VTEC_MAX_HEATING = VVLIM_HEATING × AVLIM
