    Abstract: A system for calibrating signals received over a power line within a vehicle includes a signal conditioning circuit that converts the analog input signals into digital input signals. In one embodiment the circuit includes an adjustable gain circuit that outputs an amplifier gain signal establishing an amplifier gain level and an amplifier that outputs amplified signals responsive to the analog input signals and the amplifier gain signal. In another embodiment, the circuit includes a bias circuit that outputs a bias signal establishing a bias level and a comparator that generates the digital input signals responsive to the analog input signals and the bias signal. A controller receives the digital input signals and generates, depending on the embodiment, one or more control signals configured to control the configuration of the amplifier gain signal and amplifier gain level and/or the bias signal and the bias level.

    Abstract: An impedance measurement device of the present disclosure includes: an electrochemical energy device; an amplifier connected to each connection terminal of the electrochemical energy device and configured to amplify a signal introduced into a wiring; and a main board configured to receive the signal from the amplifier and measure an impedance. Accordingly, the present invention has advantages in that high resistance to electromagnetic interference may be achieved by disposing a preamplifier close to a terminal of an electrochemical energy device to amplify only the signal without amplifying a noise introduced into a wiring.
