VITUS Silicon Drift Detector
Steffen Pahlke
APPLICATION NOTE
KETEK VITUS Silicon Drift Detector (SDD)
equipped with new optimised Thermo-Electric Cooler (TEC, Peltier)
The new KETEK Thermo-Electric Cooler (TEC) or Peltier is an especially optimized device with a 30%
better power efficiency. With a maximum current of 700mA and a voltage of 3.6V (2.5W) a
temperature difference of at least 75K can be achieved. The typical operating temperature of -35°C at
a heat sink temperature of 20°C can already be achieved at less than 300mA with a voltage below
1.7V equal a power of less than 0.5W. Additionally the time to cool down to operating temperature
stays nearly the same by applying less power.
This leads to an optimised power dissipation making the modules ideal for applications under higher
ambient temperature conditions, such as handheld or bench top systems.

The new Peltier will be used in all TO8 packaged SDD modules. All new H7/H20/H30 and H50
vacuum type detectors will be equipped with the power optimised TEC.
