This project presents a circuit simulation of an analog PID controling a Peltier cooling element connected thermally to a "Laser module" (a heat source to be kept at constant temperature). In another simulation on Hackster.io, the netlist of a generic Peltier element was presented. But the cold temperature pin was only a readout pin. The netlist has been transformed in order to add another pin (OTC= object to cool), on which the heat generator source can be connected.
Here is the circuit schematics:
A heat sourve Rtherm has been connected to the OTC pin and the source V5 is in fact the power source providing the heat to the Peltier. The temperature (pinC) is still read by an NTC thermistor (Vishay), and the resulting signal is used to control the current through the thermoelectric module, in order to keep the heat sink at 15°C, whatever the power module heat production (pulsed), and whatever variation of ambient temperature.
The waveforms recorded show that the temperature of the heat sink can be kept constant at 15+/-1°C, while the laser module pulses heat periodically and even with an ambient temeprature variation ( cyclic sine)
