Abstract

The resistance value and the leakage current of a load can be measured simultaneously. A load current is fed, mirrored by electrical power supplies ( ), into a resistance measuring circuit ( ) and a leakage current measuring circuit ( to ). This permits rapid, precise measurement of a plurality of loads by a single measuring circuit connected via one multiplexer. The firing transistors can be distributed among different ASICs or provided jointly for a plurality of firing caps.
