  • Publication number: 20050192715
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a back warning system for a vehicle. In the present invention, an object that needs an alarm is fully detected and an object that does not need an alarm are accurately detected and recognized using an internal type programmable reference voltage module that is installed in the interior of the CPU and is capable of generating various reference voltage values based on an input program constant value. Therefore, in the present invention, a tuning work is quickly achieved. A tuning work can be easily performed as compared to a conventional back warning system for a vehicle using an external comparator installed independently from a CPU. It is possible to significantly decrease the time needed for a tuning work. Actually, the time can be decreased from about 30 days to one day.
