ADN8834ACPZ-R2

Power Management - Specialized Overview

The ADN8834ACPZ-R2 is a specialized power management IC designed as an ultracompact thermoelectric cooler (TEC) controller. It integrates a linear power stage, a pulse-width modulation (PWM) power stage, and two zero-drift rail-to-rail operational amplifiers within a single chip. The device operates on a supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V with a typical operating current of 3.3 mA. It delivers a maximum output current of 1.5 A to drive TEC modules in both heating and cooling modes. The component functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and is housed in a 24-lead LFCSP package.
