GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The SGM41296 is an I

2

C programmable monolithic

driver with integrated power MOSFETs for

thermoelectric cooling devices (TEC). It can deliver

1.5A to the TEC continuously, from a 2.7V to 5.5V

source over the TEC operating voltage range. The TEC

voltage is linearly controlled by an analog input voltage

(CTL).

The voltage and current limits for protecting the TEC

and the device can be adjusted, activated or

deactivated on the fly by the 1Mbps I2

C serial interface.

A full suite of protection features such as over-current,

over-voltage and over-temperature, and an internal 2

stage soft-start circuit are also provided by this device.

Requiring a minimal number of external components

and with a tiny TQFN package, the SGM41296 offers

the minimum solution size for TEC applications. It is an

ideal choice for applications such as optical laser diode

and fiber communication networks.
