TEC Controllers

TEC Controller Basics and Selection Guide

How and Why Our TEC Controllers Achieve the Highest Efficiency on the Market

A Thermo-Electric Cooler (TEC), also known as a Peltier Cooler, is a semiconductor device that can either cool down or heat up a thermal load by reversing the direction of the current flowing through its terminals. A TEC controller precisely regulates this temperature by controlling both the current direction and amplitude.

Innovative Design for Maximum Efficiency

For over 28 years, we have been at the forefront of TEC controller development, continuously refining our designs. One of our most critical innovations is our unique output driving stage, which utilizes only one PWM engine—unlike conventional designs that require two PWM engines. This groundbreaking approach, protected under U.S. Patent 6486643 B2, results in:

20% lower power loss

25% reduction in component costs

35% reduction in PCB component area

By implementing this patented design, our TEC controllers outperform competitors with the highest efficiency and lowest cost in the industry.

Comprehensive TEC Controller Solutions

We offer a wide range of TEC controllers tailored to different applications, ensuring precise temperature regulation, high efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.
