Abstract
An apparatus for an aerosol generating device is described. The apparatus includes an induction heating circuit including an inductive element for inductively heating a susceptor arrangement to heat an aerosol generating material to thereby generate an aerosol, a capacitive element, and a switching arrangement that in use alternates between a first state and a second state to enable a varying current to be generated from a DC voltage supply and flow through the inductive element to cause inductive heating of the susceptor arrangement. The circuit also includes a control arrangement configured to switch the switching arrangement from the first state to the second state in response to a first voltage condition being detected in the circuit, and to switch the switching arrangement from the second state to the first state in response to a second voltage condition being detected in the circuit.
