DATASHEET AND OPERATING GUIDE
PTC5000/PTC10000
TIME-TESTED RELIABILITY
The PTC Series PCB-Mount Temperature Controllers are
based on our long-proven PTC-CH linear controllers, and
deliver the precision performance and reliability you expect
from Wavelength Electronics.
PTC Series controllers are found in such diverse
applications
as
particle
communications, manufacturing test, and medical systems.

Applies to PTC Product Revision A
Applies to PTCEVAL Revision A
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
• Drive ±5 or ±10 A of TEC or heater current
• Single supply operation: 5 to 30 VDC
• Small package: 2.32" x 2.15" x 3.85"
• Remote Output Enable and
Temperature Setpoint controls
• Short term stability of 0.0012°C (off-ambient)
• Long term stability 0.002°C
• Selectable sensor bias current
• Adjustable current limit
• PI Control with "Smart Integrator"
• Failsafe Setpoint default in case of remote
temperature setpoint signal error
POWERFUL AND EASY TO USE
The PTC controllers operate from a single power supply
between 5 V and 30 V, and two models drive ±5 A or ±10 A
to a Peltier thermoelectric cooler or a resistive heater.
These controllers mount directly to your circuit board.
PTC controllers interface with a variety of temperature
sensors, and the bias current is adjustable in order to
maximize controller sensitivity and stability for your
application.
You can use the PTCEVAL board to quickly confi gure the
PTC controller for prototyping. Using the same controller
for development and production helps guarantee there are
no surprises when it's time to integrate the fi nal design.
