Patent number: 9863781Abstract: A yaw rate sensor (10) includes a movable mass structure (12) and a drive component (13) which is suitable for setting the movable mass structure (12) in motion (14), and an analysis component (15) which is suitable for detecting a response (40) of the movable mass structure (12) to a yaw rate (?). A method for functional testing of a yaw rate sensor (10) includes the following steps: driving a movable mass structure (12), feeding a test signal (42) into a quadrature control loop (44) at a feed point (48) of the quadrature control loop (44), feeding back a deflection (40) of the movable mass structure (12), detecting a measure of the feedback of the movable mass structure (12), and reading out the response signal (47) from the quadrature control loop (44).Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2014Date of Patent: January 9, 2018Assignee: ROBERT BOSCH GMBHInventors: Wolfram Bauer, Johannes Classen, Rainer Willig, Matthias Meier, Burkhard Kuhlmann, Mathias Reimann, Ermin Esch, Hans-Dieter Schwarz, Michael Veith, Christoph Lang, Udo-Martin Gomez

Patent number: 8938364Abstract: A sensor device includes: a sensor module mounted on a conductor board; a sensitive element which is sensitive to a variable; a self-test control unit implementing a self-test program, the self-test control unit applying a self-test variable to the sensitive element, taking the self-test program into account; a detection unit detecting a characteristic of the sensitive element which is altered as a result of the applied self-test variable and providing an actual self-test response, taking the altered characteristic into account; and a comparator unit provided on or in the sensor module, the comparator unit comparing the actual self-test response to at least one specified setpoint self-test response and providing comparative information.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2010Date of Patent: January 20, 2015Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Patrick Goerlich, Riad Stefo, Wolfram Bauer, Rainer Willig, Burkhard Kuhlmann, Mathias Reimann, Ermin Esch, Michael Baus, Gregor Wetekam, Michael Veith, Emma Abel, Wolfgang Fuerst

Patent number: 7839227Abstract: An oscillating circuit includes an analog oscillation element. The oscillating circuit includes at least one analog-to-digital conversion device. A method is for operating an oscillating circuit, in which a mechanical oscillator oscillates at a natural frequency. The oscillation amplitude is measured and digitized. A digital control signal is generated from this with the aid of a digital amplitude controller. A driving signal is generated, in turn, from the digital control signal, the driving signal driving the mechanical oscillator with the aid of a drive unit. This control loop stabilizes the oscillation amplitude.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2005Date of Patent: November 23, 2010Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Hans-Dieter Schwarz, Arnd Gangei, Wolfram Bauer, Gerhard Wucher, Christoph Lang, Ermin Esch, Michael Veith, Thomas Mayer, Markus Brockmann
