Modern cars integrate a large number of electronic components, which are responsible for controlling various key functions, such as engine management, braking system, airbags, and entertainment system. In the actual operating environment, cars will face various sources of electromagnetic interference, including other electronic devices in the car, external wireless communication, power system, and electrostatic discharge. These interferences may adversely affect the normal operation of automotive electronic components and even endanger driving safety.

[0003] To ensure that automotive electronic components can operate reliably in complex electromagnetic environments, immunity testing has become an essential step. Current monitoring plays a crucial role in immunity testing.

This helps to detect whether electronic components can maintain a stable current supply under interference, and whether abnormal current fluctuations or malfunctions occur.

[0004] Current monitoring can also provide valuable diagnostic information. When electronic components malfunction during immunity testing, analyzing current monitoring data can help determine the source and extent of interference, allowing for appropriate corrective actions.

[0048] In use, the current monitoring device of this utility model converts the current signal into a voltage signal using the sampling module 1. The input signal of the peak detection module 2 charges the capacitor C1, and since diode D2 only allows current to flow in one direction, capacitor C1 cannot discharge through diode D2, thus maintaining the maximum voltage value of the input signal.

When the output signal of the peak detection module 2 is within the normal range defined by the window comparison circuit in the anomaly detection module 4, the window voltage circuit outputs a high level, and transistor Q is cut off. Conversely, transistor Q is turned on, and buzzer HA sounds a warning, enabling rapid detection of anomalies. Afterward, the data analysis module 6 can calculate relevant data, and the display module 7 displays the signal waveform and relevant data.
