An aerosol provision device includes a housing; circuitry; and a coupler or a receptacle structured to engage and hold a consumable including aerosol-generating material. The aerosol provision device or the consumable includes an aerosol generator powered to energize the aerosol-generating material. The circuitry includes a pressure sensor and a temperature sensor. The circuitry also includes a high-side load switch coupled to or coupleable with the aerosol generator, and processing circuitry coupled to the high-side load switch, the pressure sensor, and the temperature sensor. The processing circuitry is configured to output a modulated signal with an adjustable duty cycle to cause the high-side load switch to connect and disconnect power to the aerosol generator based on the measurements of pressure and temperature. The processing circuitry is configured to implement a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) algorithm to adjust the duty cycle based on pressure and temperature according to a predetermined relationship.
An aerosol provision device comprising:
A method of operating an aerosol provision system equipped with circuitry including processing circuitry, and an aerosol generator powered by a power source under control of the circuitry to energize aerosol-generating material to generate an aerosol for delivery to a user, the method comprising:
