AEROSOL PROVISION SYSTEM
An aerosol provision system comprising a reservoir for aerosolisable material; a vaporizer for vaporizing aerosolisable material from the reservoir; and a sensor system, separate from the vaporizer, for detecting the temperature of the vaporizer, wherein the sensor system comprises a first resistor. The sensor system may also comprise a second resistor. Each resistor may be located on a wick from the aerosol provision system, along with the vaporizer. The sensor system may be separate from the vaporizer, in so far as each resistor from the sensor system may be physically spaced from the vaporizer, and in so far as determining the temperature of the vaporizer may be determined off data from the sensor system, as opposed to off any data from the vaporizer itself.
OSCILLATOR CIRCUITS, CURRENT SOURCES AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING PERIODIC FREQUENCY SIGNALS
An oscillator circuit includes a temperature and mechanical stress compensated current source configured to provide a first electrical current. The oscillator circuit further includes a switched capacitor configured to provide a second electrical current. The oscillator circuit further includes an integrator configured to perform an integration based on a difference of the first electrical current and the second electrical current and to provide an integration signal based on the integration. The oscillator circuit further includes an oscillator configured to provide an output frequency signal, wherein the output frequency signal is controlled based on the integration signal provided by the integrator. The second electrical current provided by the switched capacitor is controlled in a feedback loop based on the output frequency signal of the oscillator.
