摘要： The firing apparatus for a gas generator of a restraint device in a vehicle has a firing chamber (1) filled with a pyrotechnic material (2). A semiconductor chip (6), in which in addition to a firing resistor (9) at least one circuit activating the latter is integrated, is arranged outside the firing chamber (1) in such a way that the thermal energy generated by the firing resistor (9) during a firing operation is transferred to the pyrotechnic material (2) in the firing chamber (1). To ensure that upon firing, the circuit elements in the firing apparatus remain undestroyed to the greatest possible extent, the semiconductor chip (6) is retained on a circuit board (5); the circuit board (5) is retained, with the side opposite the semiconductor chip (6), on a wall (4) of the firing chamber (1); and an opening (10, 11) is present in the wall (4) of the firing chamber (1) and in the circuit board (5), so that a passage exists between the firing resistor (9) mounted on the semiconductor chip (6) and the pyrotechnic material (2) in the firing chamber (1).

摘要： A semiconductor bridge igniter device (10) having integral voltage anti-fuse protection provides an electric circuit including a firing leg and, optionally, a monitor leg. The firing leg comprises semiconductor pads (14a, 14b) separated and connected by a bridge (14c) and having metallized lands (16a, 16b) disposed over the pads (14a, 14b) so that an electrical potential applied across the metallized lands (16a, 16b) will cause sufficient current to flow through the firing leg of the electric circuit to release energy at the bridge (14c). A dielectric layer (15) is interposed within the firing leg and has a breakdown voltage equal to a selected threshold voltage (V.sub.th) and therefore provides protection against the device functioning at voltages below the threshold voltage (V.sub.th). A continuity monitor leg of the electric circuit is comprised of either a fusible link (34) or a resistor (36) disposed in parallel to the firing leg.
