DESCRIPTION
PTC5000
±5 A Temperature Controller
PTC10000
±10 A Temperature Controller
PTCEVAL
Evaluation board for PTC-PCB
Series Controllers
TIME-TESTED RELIABILITY
The PTC Series PCB-Mount Temperature Controllers are
based on our long-proven PTC-CH linear controllers, and
deliver the precision performance and reliability you expect
from Wavelength Electronics.
PTC Series controllers are found in such diverse
applications as particle and droplet measurement,
communications, manufacturing test, and medical systems.
POWERFUL AND EASY TO USE
The PTC controllers operate from a single power supply
between 5 V and 30 V, and two models drive ±5 A or ±10 A
to a Peltier thermoelectric cooler or a resistive heater.
These controllers mount directly to your circuit board.
PTC controllers interface with a variety of temperature
sensors, and the bias current is adjustable in order to
maximize controller sensitivity and stability for your
application.
You can use the PTCEVAL board to quickly con
fi
gure the
PTC controller for prototyping. Using the same controller
for development and production helps guarantee there are
no surprises when it’s time to integrate the
fi
nal design.
