[1] This specification assumes a steady-state operation with a tuned system using a 10 kΩ thermistor. Typical Stability achieved by measuring 

3 standard deviations (3σ) away from the mean over the specified time period. For more detail, see 

TN-TC02: How is Temperature Stability 

Measured?

. Stability typical for a 14 pin butterfly package laser diode with a 10 kΩ thermistor.

[2] When using resistive heaters, stability can only be consistently achieved when setpoint temperatures are 10°C or more above ambient.

Stability will vary with different load types, thermal designs, and sensors. RTDs and linear voltage and current sensors are 

much less sensitive than thermistors to temperature change, so stability results will not match these specifications. See 

 

TN-TC01: Optimizing Thermoelectric Temperature Control Systems

 for maximizing system performance.
