  • Patent number: 10071636
    Abstract: A control device for a multi-voltage electrical system of a vehicle is provided. The multi-voltage vehicle electrical system includes a first subsystem which is formed to be operated by a first voltage supply source with a first supply voltage, and a second subsystem which is formed to be operated by a second voltage supply source with a second supply voltage. The control device comprises: a transceiver which is connected to ground via a first ground terminal of the first subsystem and is supplied with energy at least by the first voltage supply source, and which is formed to communicate with a component of the first subsystem; a control unit which is connected to ground via a second ground terminal of the second subsystem, and which is formed to control a component of the second subsystem. The control unit is supplied with energy at least by the first voltage supply source.

  • Patent number: 9975502
    Abstract: A multi-voltage electrical system for a vehicle, which comprises a first subsystem with a transceiver and a second subsystem with a control unit, is provided. A first control signal path which couples a first signal output of the transceiver to a first signal input of the control unit is formed and arranged to transmit a first control signal from the first signal output to the first signal input. The first control signal path comprises a first circuit module which is formed to assume a blocking condition in response to a faulty operating voltage supply in the first subsystem and/or in the second subsystem, in which the transmission of the first control signal from the first signal output to the first signal input via the first control signal path is inhibited.
