    摘要: Fail-safe and Fail-operational behavior can be achieved by providing two fully-redundant execution channels comprising at least first and second chiplet dies on a single SoC that are in communication with one another via a D2D interface. At least first and second instances of a first automotive safety integrity level (ASIL) domain circuit disposed on the at least first and second chiplet dies, respectively, perform at least a first ASIL domain process on one or more automotive sensor output signals to produce first and second output signals, respectively. A fault monitoring system monitors at least the first chiplet die for faults and assigns a first value to a selector signal if it detects a fault in the first chiplet die. A selector circuit outputs the second output signal from the system if the selector signal has the first value.

    摘要: A method of detecting ground loss of an electrical component includes monitoring a ground circuit including a first ground line connected to the electrical component and a second ground line connected to the electrical component, where the monitoring includes measuring a current through each of the first ground line and the second ground line, and measuring a voltage through each of the first ground line and the second ground line. The method also includes calculating a first resistance of the first ground line and a second resistance of the second ground line based on the measured current and the measured voltage, estimating a difference between the first resistance and the second resistance, and comparing the estimated difference to a threshold difference, and based on the estimated difference being greater than the threshold difference, detecting a ground fault, and outputting an indication of the ground fault.

    摘要: A method for detecting a short circuit in a wiring harness that contacts an electric device. The method includes: carrying out a first and second test measurements, in which a first and second predefined electric current is applied to an electric device connected to a line to be monitored of the wiring harness and resulting first and second electric voltages are detected, the second electric current being greater than the first electric current; ascertaining a measurement current based on a predefined target electric voltage by interpolation from the first and second electric currents and the first and second electric voltages; and carrying out a measurement in which the measurement current is applied to the electric device connected to the line and a resulting electric measurement voltage is detected; wherein a short circuit is detected based on a comparison of the measurement voltage and the target voltage.

    摘要: An electronic device for simulating load currents when testing a tow-vehicle brake controller is described. The electronic device utilizes current monitoring circuitry to measure a current of an input signal from the tow vehicle. The electronic device also includes a series of resistors that are arranged in parallel on the input signal as wells a series of switches (e.g., relays or transistors) that can activate and deactivate each one of the resistors. Microcontroller circuitry within the electronic device controls the series of switches based on the measured current of the input signal, and, by extension, controls the series of resistors applied to the input signal. In so doing, the electronic device is able to simulate a desired load current on the tow-vehicle brake controller being tested.

    摘要: Systems and methods are described for monitoring a high voltage electrical system in a vehicle. An interface circuit is configured to provide isolation between a high voltage component of the vehicle and a control module. The interface circuit comprises a high voltage constant current source, a voltage threshold detector and an electrical isolation circuit. The high voltage constant current source is configured to receive an input at a first voltage from the high voltage component. The voltage threshold detector is configured to receive an output from the high voltage constant current source and to output a signal to indicate whether the voltage of the high voltage component is at, or below, a desired voltage. The electrical isolation circuit is configured to receive the output signal from the voltage threshold detector, decouple the output signal from the high voltage component and, in response to receiving the output signal from the voltage threshold detector, output a signal at a second voltage to the control module.
