RX23E-A 32-bit MCU Realizes A Thermoelectric Peltier Controller Achieving A Control Resolution of about 5m°C
In recent years, the introduction of data driven predictive maintenance and automation has attracted attention, and the demand for acquiring various sensing data has also increased. In the field of temperature control, there is also increasing case where a single MCU device is being used to measure temperature at multiple points as well as other physical parameters.
As the specifications are increasing, the number of components used also increases. On the other hand, the demand for product miniaturization is also increasing, and reducing the board mounting area. In addition, the standardization of parts and platform development to meet such diversifying specifications has become a challenge.
To address these challenges, Renesas has developed the RX23E-A, which integrates a high-precision 24-bit ΔΣ ADC and MCU that is ideal for temperature control into a single chip. By using the RX23E-A, the temperature control equipment that used a general purpose MCU and dedicated external ADC can now be replaced with a single MCU.
Renesas provides a reference design of the thermoelectric Peltier controller as an example of temperature controller. The main function in this reference design include the measurement, control and communication all by using RX23E-A as a single chip MCU.

In this reference, cascade control is implemented by adding a current control loop to the temperature control loop. Cascade control is a control method used in applications that require precise control, and the RX23E-A come with lot of functions that is capable of realizing this implementation with a single chip.
We have developed the demo kit and confirmed that a control resolution of about 5 m ° C could be achieved. In addition, with proper tuning, high speed response with no overshoot can be realized.
