The vacuum chamber is 60 inches in diameter, and it produces 100 microampere currents of 16 million volt deuterons.
The scientists were able to achieve a 200-microampere-per-square-cm current density and an open-circuit voltage of
To ensure that the LIN node's current consumption is well below 100 microampere in applications that are continuously connected to the battery, the ATA6617 provides several current saving modes where different functionalities are individually switched off or on, depending on the application requirements.
Simple assignment of an individual physical LIN node address, which is important in applications such as air-conditioning systems, can be realized by using an integrated 100 microampere current source.
This thing over my head is like a wireless telephone receiver, capable of detecting a current of even a quarter of a microampere. "
