Precision Low-Current Measurement Using In-Circuit Tester (ICT)

应用文章

Low-current measurement plays a critical role in assessing the power consumption of automotive components during standby or sleep modes. Excessive leakage or sleep currents can lead to premature battery depletion, increased warranty claims, and even safety hazards. For example, unpredictable behavior in ECUs caused by leakage currents can result in malfunctions such as unintended brake engagement or airbag deployment failures. Accurate measurement of these currents ensures optimal power draw, extending battery life and maintaining the integrity of safety systems.
