To understand the issue, I wonder:
1. When VLIM=0, what is driving the TEC current to ramp up linearly before the jump? Is TEMPSET varying? What level does the TEC current settle at in the case VLIM isn't 0?
2. What is the TEC+ to ground voltage? In any case that voltage can't be higher than the supply, which is the source of PMOS.
