Bbe, what's the price for the dual driver?
I might want to order some.

astatic, currently they are available on ebey

Hi Bbe,

Are you still offering drivers? I'm looking for TEC+diode driver for a dual blue module, which run on 24V, have you such a solution?

[Bbe]

Hi sbk,

My diode+TEC driver boards were manufactured in small quantities, and I'm not going back to them. At the moment, I can offer my drivers from "simple" series, but a new batch of simpleTEC drivers will be available in the first half of August. Diode and TEC drivers are not combined on one single PCB, but have the same type of design.

Ok thanks. Just to be sure, do they both work with 24V input voltage? It was specified so for the one with the integrated DC/DC, but not sure about the Simple series...

Yes, they work with 24V, if you intend to use 4 blue diode in series, I recommend reduce the power supply voltage upto 20-22V (typically they have +/- 10% adjustment)

Mmmm I plan to use only two blue diodes... maybe not a good idea to power up the driver with 24V if it doesn't have a DC/DC.

[Bbe]

You're right, with two diodes you will have ~15V drop on the driver and very high heat dissipation

[sbk]

Well... then let me suggest you to develop a mix of your old TEC+diode with the updated DC/DC to open you a wide market here
