Laird Technologies, a manufacturer of performance-critical components for wireless systems and other advanced electronics applications, has released a new version of AZTEC thermoelectric module (TEM) simulation software.
According to the company, the software is a “user-friendly tool that can speed up product development by running simulations on a TEM and viewing its expected output performance on a given set of thermal and electrical operating points.”
AZTEC uses input variables, including heat load, ambient and control temperatures, input voltage requirement and thermal resistance of hot side heat exchangers to recommend an ideal TEM to the user. The software also includes an analysis worksheet tool, which simulates how the selected TEMs will function under a given set of operating conditions.
