  • Control circuit for an airbag release unit
    Patent number: 6020655
    Abstract: An airbag control circuit comprises a transformer having a primary coil connected to a first sub-circuit and a secondary coil connected to a second sub-circuit, an ignition impedance for initiating deployment of the airbag, a first energy storage device connected to the secondary coil of the transformer, wherein the first sub-circuit transmits a first signal to the second sub-circuit via the transformer, and wherein the first signal charges the first energy storage device, a first sender/receiver unit connected to the secondary coil of the transformer and receiving the first signal, and a frequency analyzer connected to the first sender/receiver unit, wherein the frequency analyzer connects the first energy storage device to the ignition impedance in response to a predetermined change in a frequency of the first signal.
