Power supply unit for aerosol inhaler

A power supply unit for an aerosol inhaler, the aerosol inhaler including a power supply configured to discharge electricity to a load which is configured to heat an aerosol generation source and has a correlation between temperature and electric resistance values, the power supply unit comprising:

• a first element connected in series to the load and having a first electric resistance value;
• a second series circuit which includes a second element having a second electric resistance value, and a third element connected in series to the second element and having a third electric resistance value, the second series circuit being connected in parallel with a first series circuit including the load and the first element;
• a first operational amplifier which includes a non-inversion input terminal connected to one of a first connection node between the load and the first element and a second connection node between the second element and the third element, and an inversion input terminal connected to the other of the first connection node and the second connection node;
• and
• a potential adjustment circuit connected to the first operational amplifier and configured to prevent a differential input value of the first operational amplifier from being equal to a potential of a negative power supply terminal of the first operational amplifier or a minimum value acquirable by the first operational amplifier, in a state where a first potential of the first connection node or the second connection node which is connected to the non-inversion input terminal is less than a second potential of the first connection node or the second connection node which is connected to the inversion input terminal.
