WTC32ND TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER

CONFIGURE THE JUMPERS & SWITCH

On the underside of the WTC32ND-EV Evaluation Board 

you will find the jumpers and switches. Use 

Figure 5 

below 

to locate them.

S

 drives the output stage while V

DD

 powers the 

control electronics. 

Figure 5

 shows the jumper location and 

Figure 6

 shows the jumper position.  The factory default is 

to separate the V

S

 and V

DD

 power supply inputs.

• To use Single Supply Operation, place the jumper in the

V

S

 + V

DD

 or “1” position.  Note that when in this position,

V

S

 on the input terminal block pin will be at the same

potential as the V

DD

 pin.

• To use Dual (separate) Supply Operation, place the

jumper in the V

DD

 or “2” position.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS — 
W EVAL BOARD

WTC32ND WITH WTC32ND-EV EVAL BOARD

Operate the WTC32ND quickly using the WTC32ND-EV 

Evaluation Board. For integrating the WTC32ND into 

a custom printed circuit board, see 

Design Guide — 

WTC32ND on page 20

.

NECESSARY EQUIPMENT

The following equipment is the minimum necessary to 

configure the WTC and evaluation board for basic operation.

• WTC32ND Temperature Controller

• WTC32ND-EV PCB evaluation board

• Digital multimeter, 4-½ digit resolution recommended

• Thermistor or other temperature sensor

• Peltier-type thermoelectric module or resistive heater

• Optional: test load

• Minimum 22 gauge wiring

• Power Supplies (see below)

• Thermal Solutions Kit, if operating above 5 V or 500 mA

Small flathead screwdriver or Tweaker (included)

SYSTEM DESIGN DECISIONS

Before the WTC32ND-EV Evaluation Board can be 

configured, several decisions must be made:

• What sensor is being used?

• What bias current is needed?

What is the operating maximum current and maximum

voltage?

• Will the power supply be a single or dual supply?

Will  the  system,  as  designed,  fit  within  the  Safe

Operating Area (SOA)?

POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS 

The V

DD

 power supply is used to power the WTC32ND 

internal control electronics and must be capable of sourcing 

a minimum of 8 mA of current. If a fan is needed, the fan 

draw current on V

DD

 will also need to be added to the 

minimum required current. 

V

S

 powers the WTC32ND output stage and must be sufficient 

to provide 1.1 times quiescent current and TEC current.

V

S

 = 1.1 * (I

TEC

 + V

S_QUIESCENT

)

For V

S

, when selecting a power supply, choose a voltage 

as close to the operating voltage of the TEC as possible to 

maximize efficiency and minimize the WTC internal power 

dissipation.
