Abstract

An aerosol delivery device is provided that includes a housing structured to retain an aerosol precursor composition, and a sensor configured to produce a measurement of pressure caused by airflow through at least a portion of the housing, and convert the measurement of pressure to a corresponding electrical signal. The aerosol delivery device includes a heating element configured to convert electricity to heat and thereby vaporize components of the aerosol precursor composition. The aerosol delivery device also includes a control component including a processor configured to receive the corresponding electrical signal and in response connect a power source to a load including the heating element and thereby power the heating element. And the aerosol delivery device includes a voltage regulator coupled to and between the sensor and the power source, and configured to step down voltage from the power source to the sensor and thereby power the sensor.
