WHY5640
Subminiature Temperature Controller
(BOTTOM VIEW)
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The WHY5640 is a general purpose analog PI
(Proportional, Integral) control loop for use in
thermoelectric or resistive heater temperature
control applications. The WHY5640 maintains
precision temperature regulation using an active
resistor bridge circuit that operates directly
with thermistors or RTD temperature sensors.
Supply up to 2 Amps of heat and cool current to
your thermoelectric from a single +5 Volt power
supply.
Connect two or more WHY5640 units together
and drive higher output currents.
FEATURES:
• + 5 to + 28V Operation
• Low Cost
• 0.008 ˚C Stability (typical)
• PI Temperature Control
• High ± 2 Amps Output Current
• Control Above and Below Ambient
• Small Package Size

Caution:
Do not exceed the Safe Operating Area (SOA). Exceeding the SOA voids the warranty.
To determine if the operating parameters fall within the SOA of the device, the maximum voltage drop across the
controller and the maximum current must be plotted on the SOA curves.
These values are used for the example SOA determination:
Vs= 12 volts
Vload = 5 volts
ILoad = 1 amp
Follow these steps:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
}
These values are determined from the specifications of the TEC or resistive heater
Determine the maximum voltage drop across the controller ,Vs-Vload, and mark on the X axis. (12volts - 5
volts = 7 volts, Point A)
Determine the maximum current, ILoad, through the controller and mark on the Y axis:
(1 amp, Point B)
Draw a horizontal line through Point B across the chart. (Line BB)
Draw a vertical line from Point A to the maximum current line indicated by Line BB.
Mark Vs on the X axis. (Point C)
Draw the Load Line from where the vertical line from point A intersects Line BB down to Point C.
Refer to the chart shown below and note that the Load Line is in the Unsafe Operating Areas for use with no heatsink
(1) or the heatsink alone (2), but is outside of the Unsafe Operating Area for use with heatsink and Fan (3).
