High Sensitivity Current Measurements and Probing Solutions

Battery life is important in all portable electronic devices, but for medical devices, a properly functioning battery can be life-critical. Today’s medical devices integrate combinations of device monitoring, sensing, digital processing, and wired or wireless communication features that generate highly dynamic power consumption profiles. Medical device designers face ever-increasing demands for longer battery life, especially for implantable and safety-critical external devices.

Understanding the issues faced when connecting to the device under test (DUT) is a critical aspect of the battery drain analysis. Tradeoffs based on the application need to include probe effects such as burden voltages and capacitance as well as dynamic range considerations, required bandwidth for various measurements, and resolution (number of digits or bits).
