Temperature setpoint with DAC

Thread Summary

The user is trying to adjust the temperature set point and range of a Peltier controlled by an ADN8835 TEC controller from 15-35°C to 10-60°C. The current setup uses a 1.25V reference at IN1N and a 10k+10k voltage divider at IN2P. The final answer indicates that a TEC applications engineer will review the request. The AD5593RBCPZ DAC can generate 0-2.5V to override the set point.

We having a board which uses the ADN8835 TEC controller to control the temperature of a Peltier. The temperature set point is set to 25 degrees with a span of 10 degrees up and down using the circuit below.

If I understand it correctly, this is because IN1N is 1.25V at 25 degrees Celcius an IN2P is always 1.25V because o the 10k+10k voltage divider. We can overrule this set point, by driving a different voltage on the IN2P pin. This is connected to a DAC (AD5593RBCPZ) which can generate a voltage from 0 to 2.5V (TEC_PIC1_VREF voltage in the schematic below).

Now our customer would like to have a different temperature set point and much wider range (for example 10-60 degrees). I can't figure this out with the datasheet.

Would it be possible to change the set point and range? If so, how can this be calculated?

Thanks in advance!
