Zusammenfassung:An aerosol delivery device includes a housing enclosing a reservoir retaining an aerosol precursor composition. A first power-source terminal connects a power source to the aerosol delivery device. An atomizer is configured to vaporize components of the aerosol precursor composition. A switch is coupled between the first power-source terminal and the atomizer. A micro pump is arranged between the reservoir and the atomizer to deliver aerosol precursor composition from the reservoir to the atomizer. A driver circuit includes a boost converter coupled between the first power-source terminal and the micro pump, to drive the micro pump. A control component includes processing circuitry configured to switchably control the driver circuit to drive the micro pump, and switchably control the switch to connect the power source to the atomizer independently of the driver circuit and thereby power the atomizer to vaporize components of the aerosol precursor composition.
