5 mm × 5 mm 32-lead LFCSP The ADN88311 is a monolithic TEC controller. It has two integrated, zero drift, rail-to-rail comparators, and a PWM driver.
A unique PWM driver works with an analog driver to control
external selected MOSFETs in an H-bridge. By sensing the
thermal detector feedback from the TEC, the ADN8831 can
drive a TEC to settle the programmable temperature of a laser
diode or a passive component attached to the TEC module. …
