摘要:
A manufacturing process for an electronic device having a storage element, whereby, in various manufacturing stages, the device runs through testing stations. After passing through a testing station, information documenting the respective inspection step is stored in the storage element of the electronic device.
摘要:
An electronic device, in particular a system for safeguarding vehicle occupants, comprises at least two acceleration-sensitive sensors arrangements. To test the readiness for operation of the sensor arrangements, output signals from the sensor arrangements are compared. Output signals, which occur as the result of accelerations arising during normal operation of the vehicle, are also drawn upon when the comparison is made.

An electronic device for triggering safety devices 10 comprises a firing element ZP which is connected in series to a capacitor ZK. The firing element ZP is acted upon by currents from controllable current sources IQ1, IQ2, which, in accordance with an output signal of a sensor S, are triggered by an evaluation circuit AS.
摘要:
A device for suppressing interference signals for a microprocessor evaluating a plurality of sensor signals on respective input lines coupled thereto. Each of the input lines is selectively coupled to a first resistance during a measurement interval and selectively coupled to a second resistance during an interval outside of the measurement interval.
摘要:
In an electronic safety device for vehicle occupants including an acceleration-sensitive sensor, a control unit, and a plurality of inertial restraining devices with associated output stages, a reliable operating mode is guaranteed for the safety device by storing characteristic fault conditions, together with control strategies compensating for these fault conditions. In the event of a fault, the safety device applies the respective, assigned control strategy to activate the restraining devices.
摘要:
An air bag system for protecting the occupants of a motor vehicle in the event of a collision has a plurality of firing circuits comprising air bag igniters (3a,3b,3c) in series with respective power transistors (T.sub.1,T.sub.2,T.sub.3) which can be triggered in the event of an accident to inflate a corresponding plurality of air bags. A single energy storage capacitor (E) is connected to all of the firing circuits for supplying energy to activate the bag igniters over the upper common power stage (7) in the event that there is a loss of battery voltage when the system has been actuated. A comparator (9) monitors the voltage drops across respective resistors (R.sub.1,R.sub.2,R.sub.3) in series with the power transistors (T.sub.1,T.sub.2, T.sub.3) and reduces the current through these transistors in the event that an excessive current is detected. Steps are taken to ensure that the period of activation of the current supply to the igniters is limited.
摘要:
A detonation circuit for an inflation capsule (10) of a vehicle air bag has a capacitor (20) which supplies energy to the capsule during a crash condition. The circuit has a transformer (12), the energy source (20) being electrically connectible to the primary coil (P) thereof by two transistors (30, 48) which assume a conducting state when associated control means (16, 18) determine that a crash condition has occurred. Only when both transistors conduct can the energy source (20) cause a change in the current flow through the primary coil (P), which in turn induces a change in current in the secondary coil (S) to which the capsule (10) is connected.It has been found that by monitoring the voltage and current characteristics in the primary coil (P), the state of the capsule (10) can be monitored. For example, it can be determined whether the capsule has fired, and if so further firing pulses may be suppressed.
