Combination Driver & TEC Module, 1000mA, 6V, 9W TEC, LDC-3908/3916

The LDC-3916374 Combination Laser Diode Controller Module offers both a 1000 mA laser diode driver, and a 9 W TEC controller in the same module.
The module provides high stability, low noise output with multiple hardware current limits and laser protection features such as intermittent contact protection, adjustable compliance voltage limit, slow turn-on, shorting circuits and 4-wire voltage measurement for precise laser diode forward voltage measurement. The built-in bi-polar temperature controller works with thermistor type temperature sensors for precise temperature control over a wid range of temperatures.
This LDC3916374 module is compatible with the
