  • Method and circuit for checking the plausibility of a current sensor measurement result
    Patent number: 9651586
    Abstract: A method for checking the plausibility of a measurement result for an electric current by a current sensor connected to an electrical circuit, the method including: making a predetermined change to the switching state of the electrical circuit; detecting, by the current sensor, a change to the electric current resulting from the change to the switching state as a measurement result; and checking the plausibility of the measurement result by contrasting the change to the switching state and the change to the electric current.
    Type: Grant

    Assignee: Continental Teves AG & Co. oHG
    Inventors: Jörg Eckrich, Wolfgang Jöckel, Klaus Rink, Martin Haverkamp, Torsten Martin, Jens Herchenröder
  • METHOD FOR SETTING UP A CURRENT SENSOR
    Publication number: 20150346312
    Abstract: A method for setting up a current sensor having an internal resistance which is dependent on the current which is to be measured, wherein the internal resistance is set to a setpoint voltage drop as part of a regulation of an actual voltage drop across the current sensor, including calibration or checking the plausibility of operation of the current sensor based on a characteristic curve, in which the current which is to be measured is compared to a variable which is dependent on the internal resistance or to the internal resistance.
