WTC3293
WTC3243 Temperature Controller
Evaluation Board
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
Quickly interface an ultrastable WTC3243
Temperature Controller to your thermoelectric
or resistive heater load without having to
design a printed circuit board. Onboard
switches,
jumpers,
operation simple.
Control
temperature
100  Platinum RTDs, or linear temperature
sensors such as the LM335 or the AD590.
Adjust temperature using the onboard trimpot
or a remote voltage.
trimpots confi gure heat and cool current
limits, proportional gain, and integrator time
constant. A dipswitch allows the sensor bias
current to be optimized for your sensor type.
High power applications can use the onboard
fan connections to power a WXC303 or
WXC304 (+5 or +12 V) DC fan attached to a
WHS302 heatsink.

    Product Variation. Troubleshooting If the PGAIN or I TERM are turned all the way counterclockwise (CCW), the WTC3293 will not produce current. If using HSET and the setpoint is 1 V higher than it should be, the VSET SOURCE jumper is not removed.
