A Peltier controller is designed by Analog Technologies, Inc. (ATI). It is used to set, monitor and regulate the temperature of thermal electric coolers (TECs). During operation, the Peltier controller has high efficiency, high reliability and high stability. It is made of Lead-free materials.And the controller has the anti-interference function,because it is packaged in a compact metal enclosure (see Figure 1).

By using the Peltier controller, users can set the desired object temperature, the maximum output voltage across a thermal electric cooler and the compensation network. The controller has two types: open loop and close loop. The closed loop controller is more complex than the open one. If the phase and magnitude of the closed loop control system properly, it will lead to a system instability.
