Abstract :
This paper presents a thermoelectric temperature control system which consists of three control channels. The system implements a cascade controller using integrated 12-bit A/D converters to read the thermistors. The closed-loop system is seen to achieve 0.1degC temperature accuracy, and a description of the system control , along with user code programming, is provided. Examples are given to illustrate the use of the proposed method.
