Thermoelectric Cooler Controller
Analog Devices Thermoelectric Cooler Controllers work with cooler based photonics, offer the smallest size, the best efficiency and the most robust solutions. It has a linear power stage with the linear driver output and a pulse width modulation power stage with the SW output. Depending on the part number, it offers digital PID control or analog PID control or both. Our TEC controllers support a variety of MSA based optical modules such as SFP, SFP+,QSFP+, CFP/CFP-2/CFP-4 and QSFP28.

Current Mirrors
Analog Devices current mirrors are precision, high dynamic range, wide variable supply parts used for optical power monitoring, voltage biasing with current monitoring, and voltage-to-current conversion. Our current mirrors can monitor current down to as little as 3 nA and as much as 3 mA, with a linearity of 1% or better. The current dynamic range is 120 dB or 6 decades of current range, while the overcurrent protection feature in our devices forces the input pin to ground to avoid part damage. Over temperature (–40°C to +85°C) and process, the dynamic range only suffers 10 dB at the lower end of the range.
