ORDERING INFORMATION

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

 

The advanced and reliable circuitry of the HTC 

Series achieves 0.0009°C temperature stability.  Its 

small, low profile package is ideal for designs with 

space constraints.  The linear, PI control loop offers 

maximum stability while the bipolar current source 

has been designed for higher efficiency. 

The HTC Temperature Controllers are easily 

configured for any design. Virtually any type of 

temperature sensor can be used with the HTC and a 

built in sensor bias current source simplifies use with 

resistive temperature sensors.  The independently 

adjustable Proportional Gain (P) and Integrator Time 

Constant (I) can be modified to optimize temperature 

overshoot and stability.      

Other features offer added flexibility.  A single resistor 

sets the maximum output current to your load. An 

onboard  reference  voltage  simplifies  potentiometer 

control of the temperature setpoint.  You can also 

choose to operate remotely with an external setpoint 

voltage. Two monitor pins provide access to the 

temperature setpoint voltage and the actual sensor 

voltage.
