Abstract: Threshold detection for load current on a bus involves generating an output current representative of the load current using a transconductance circuit, sampling the output current during a quiescent phase of the bus to produce a sample current, generating a compensation current that is proportional to the transconductance gain associated with the transconductance circuit, where the compensation current is a function of the sample current, combining the output current, the sample current, the compensation current, and a reference current representative of a threshold value for the load current to produce a combined current, and using a discriminator during an active phase of the bus to output a first value when the sum current exceeds the threshold value and a second value when the combined current is less than the threshold value.

Abstract: A safing decision is executed using a first integrator for integrating acceleration sensor output values for a first integration interval to obtain a first arithmetic operation value, a second integrator for cumulative integration of the acceleration sensor output values using it as a trigger that the first arithmetic operation value exceeds a first predetermined value to obtain a second arithmetic operation value, a third integrator for integrating the second arithmetic operation value for a third integration interval to obtain a third arithmetic operation value as a second order integration value of the output values of the acceleration sensors, and a comparator for comparing a map derivation value derived by substituting the third arithmetic operation value into a threshold value map and the first arithmetic operation value with each other. The airbag is started up when the main decision and the safing decision are carried out as an on decision.
