Product Overview
The LTC1923EGN#PBF is a high-efficiency PWM TEC controller from Analog Devices (Linear Technology), designed for precision temperature control of laser diodes, photodetectors and fiber-optic devices.
Its synchronous H-bridge topology delivers bidirectional heating/cooling drive via a single inductor, reaching up to 90% efficiency and cutting power loss compared with linear TEC drivers. Equipped with an internal 2.5V reference, programmable current limits and error amplifier, it achieves ≤0.01°C temperature stability with external thermistor bridges.
Packaged in thermally optimized 28-SSOP, it integrates full fault protection for overcurrent, open thermistor and loop failure, widely deployed in telecom transponders and precision laser modules.
Core Advantages
High-Efficiency Bidirectional PWM Drive
Adopts fully synchronous H-bridge switching topology to realize smooth heating and cooling switching, greatly reducing heat loss and power consumption compared with linear regulators.
Ultra-Precise Temperature Regulation
Supports external PID closed-loop circuit design, enabling long-term temperature control accuracy within 0.01°C to avoid laser wavelength drift caused by temperature fluctuation.
Integrated System Diagnostics and Safety Functions
Built-in hardware alarm and over-limit protection for maximum heating/cooling current, temperature deviation and sensor disconnection, effectively preventing permanent damage to TEC devices.
Adjustable Switching Frequency & Slew Rate
Equipped with independent main oscillator, users can adjust PWM switching frequency flexibly; adjustable output slew rate suppresses EMI noise and simplifies filter circuit design.
On-Board 2.5V Precision Reference
Integrated stable 2.5V voltage reference output for thermistor divider circuits, reducing external component count and improving temperature sampling consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Is your currently available stock of the LTC1923EGN#PBF 100% original and genuine?
A: Yes, we guarantee that all LTC1923EGN#PBF integrated circuits in our inventory are 100% brand-new, factory-original products directly from Analog Devices / Linear Technology. Every batch undergoes formal quality verification and is safely packed in original anti-static tubes or tape-and-reel to protect pin integrity.
Q2: Why is a PWM switching topology like the LTC1923 preferred over traditional linear drive methods for TEC elements?
A: Linear controllers control temperature by consuming excess power as heat inside the chip, with efficiency usually lower than 50% and severe heat dissipation issues. The LTC1923 adopts PWM H-bridge switch control with efficiency up to 90%, avoiding thermal interference from the driver to the temperature sensing unit.
Q3: What does the “#PBF” suffix signify on this part number?
A: “#PBF” stands for Pb-Free. It means the device terminals and molding compound fully comply with international environmental standards including RoHS, suitable for environmentally friendly mass production.
Q4: How can our design engineers request an official component datasheet, reference designs, or a volume commercial quotation?
A: Please submit the Quick Inquiry form on this page. Our technical sales team will evaluate your project requirements and send complete technical documents and bulk price list within 24 hours.
