Enclosed 2.2 A LD/TEC Controller

LDTC 2/2O

Open Frame 2.2 A LD/TEC Controller

WEV-300* Thermal Washer & Heatsink
WEV-301* Thermal Washer, Heatsink, 5 V Fan
WEV-302* Thermal Washer, Heatsink, 12 V Fan

POWER & STABILITY

Combine the drive power of the WLD3343 laser driver (up 

to 2.2 A) with the temperature stability of the WTC3243 

temperature controller (±2.2 A available) on one small board. 

Available as an open frame or in a chassis mount enclosure. 

APPLICATIONS

Ideal for integrated laser driver or LED packages that include 

temperature control, often utilized in medical diagnostic 

equipment, remote sensing, analytical instrumentation, 

military, and communications applications.

POWER YOUR APPLICATION WITH  

THE RIGHT FEATURES

The WTC3243 will control temperature using thermistors, 

RTDs, or linear temperature sensors such as the LM335 

or the AD590. Adjust temperature using the onboard 

trimpot or a remote voltage input from a panel mount 

potentiometer, DAC, or other voltage source. A default 

temperature setpoint configuration provides fault tolerance 

and avoids accidental damage to system components. 

Adjustable trimpots configure heat and cool current limits.

The WLD3343 Laser Driver maintains precision laser diode 

curent (Constant Current Mode) or stable photodiode 

current (Constant Power mode) using electronics 

compatible with A/B Type lasers.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

•  ±2.2 A of TEC and 2.2 A of LD current (up to 3 A 

with product variation)

•  Small package size

•  Single supply operation LD: +5 to +12 V

•  Single supply operation TC: +5 to +28 V

•  Slow start laser diode protection

•  Constant Current or Constant Power modes

•  Adjustable laser diode current limit

•  Remote TTL Shutdown/Interlock

•  Ultra-stable PI control loop

•  Separate heat & cool current limits

•  Failsafe Setpoint default for D/A remote 

temperature setting
