MAX1968/MAX1969
The MAX1968/MAX1969 are highly integrated and cost-
effective, high-efficiency, switch-mode drivers for Peltier
thermoelectric cooler (TEC) modules. Both devices uti-
lize direct current control to eliminate current surges in
the TEC. On-chip FETs minimize external components
while providing high efficiency. A 500kHz/1MHz switch-
ing frequency and a unique ripple cancellation scheme
reduce component size and noise.
The MAX1968 operates from a single supply and pro-
vides bipolar
±3A
output by biasing the TEC between
the outputs of two synchronous buck regulators. Bipolar
operation allows for temperature control without “dead
zones” or other nonlinearities at low load currents. This
arrangement ensures that the control system does not
hunt when the set point is very close to the natural
operating point, requiring a small amount of heating or
cooling. An analog control signal precisely sets the TEC
current. The MAX1969 provides unipolar output up to
6A. Reliability is optimized with settable limits for both
TEC voltage and current, with independently set limits
for heating and cooling current. An analog output also
monitors TEC current.
The MAX1968/MAX1969 are available in a low-profile
28-pin TSSOP-EP package and is specified over the
-40°C to +85°C temperature range. The thermally-
enhanced TSSOP-EP package with exposed metal pad
minimizes operating junction temperature. An evalua-
tion kit is available to speed designs.

Note 1:
LX has internal clamp diodes to PGND and PV

. Applications that forward bias these diodes should take care not to
exceed the IC’s package power dissipation limits.
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
