VICO-TC TEC temperature controller

VICO-TC

TEC Temperature Controller
for Applications with VITUS Silicon Drift Detector

The KETEK VICO-TC Temperature Controller Module is a specially designed OEM printed circuit board optimized for the operation with KETEK VITUS Silicon Drift Detectors (SDD) matching all types from 7mm² (H7) up to 50mm² (H50).

The VICO-PA offers an ultra low noise operating temperature controller for the thermo electric cooler (Peltier Element) used in VITUS SDDs.

Short Facts

Ultra-low-noise
High-precision analogue PI regulator
Operation with different temperature sensors (temperature diode and thermistor)
Ultra-low thermal dissipation
Ultra-low power consumption
On-board temperature control
Optimised for VITUS SDD from 7mm² (H7) up to 50mm² (H50) active area

TEC Temperature Controller Output Characteristics

VICO-TC output UTh at pin 14 TD+ for thermistor type VITUS SDDs

KETEK VICO-TC turn-on and regulation characteristics for cooling from room temperature (20°C) to -55°C operating temperature

The operating temperature can be set with a potentiometer in the range between -5 and -60°C. The setting point can be measured at pin 2 "t set".
