The Si5HyUdPTC1-30V-20A is a 30V 20A, microprocessor based, Hybrid, Unidirectional, Proportional Temperature Controller board with integrated heat sink that uses pulse-width modulation (PWM) to efficiently control average current to a resistive heater or Thermo-Electric (TE ) cooler cell in 0 to 600W power. An onboard microprocessor controls the load-power and monitors the sensor input. The sample temperature is measured and controlled every 750msec with 0.5⁰C accuracy. A small, 9-bit digital thermometer Si18DTsens  is used for this purpose.  This sensor uses a unique “1-wire interface” (with parasite power mode) that requires only 2-conductors for reliable remote (typical length of 20 meters) temperature sensing. The term proportional controller implies that the value of the average load current used in the correction is proportional to the difference between the actual and desired temperature. Five PWM duty-cycle values are used depending on the absolute-value of the difference between the set and measured temperature values (|Td|). The duty-cycle is 0% when |Td|=0⁰C; 25% when 0⁰C< |Td|<0.5⁰C; 50% when 0.5⁰C< |Td|<1C⁰; 75% when 1⁰C< |Td|<1.5⁰C; 100% when |Td|>1.5⁰C. This method allows a uniform temperature control in the -25⁰C to +102⁰C Range, with 1/2⁰C accuracy. As the name hybrid (Hy) implies, the required temperature value (or load current) is derived from a variable analog-voltage, while the all other control-signals are digital. The desired temperature value (or load current) is set by an (0 to 5V range) external analog voltage (V_I1,G), or by an external potentiometer. This analog (I1) input is zener-diode protected. An onboard LED (red) is used to monitor the load-voltage and an optional. Snubbing circuits and filter capacitors are included to suppress load-current switching transients.  A small (2.3”x2.4”x0.45”) finned  integrated heat sink is included with mounting hardware (as shown on the photograph) to operate at 20A or 600W power levels. Higher power-levels (30V, 40A or 1200W) can be achieved with more efficient heat-sinks. Please click on this link and read the Board Mounting Instructions and Heat Sink Selection Guide. This board requires a single 9V to 30V DC power source (unregulated and unfiltered) at a 0A to 20A current range to operate normally. Typical applications are: DC Resistive Heater Controller, Thermo-Electric Cooler Controller, etc. This board can be configured and programmed to perform efficiently in many customized applications.

A Typical Application of the Si5HyUdPTC1-30V-20A

In this heating or cooling application (but not both at the same time), the temperature (load-current) is proportionally controlled (in the 0 to 600W power range) by the Si5 board and the desired temperature (or load current) is linearly adjusted with the Si5Pot1-5k accessory (an external 1-turn 5kW pot); -25⁰C to +102⁰C Temperature Range, in 1/2⁰C Steps. The 9-bit digital temperature sensor can be purchased from us (see Parts Department Si18DTsens) or you can wire up your own using the Dallas Semi. Digital Thermometer chip DS18S20, in TO-92 casing (order from  www.digikey.com as part number DS18S20-ND). The TE Cells can be purchased from Melcor Corp. Trenton, NJ 08648 USA, www.melcor.com.
