Abstract: Electronic circuit arrangement (5) with one or more semiconductor main relays (1) being connected to at least one semiconductor driver stage (3) for the actuation of loads (4), in which case the semiconductor main relay (1) connects the loads and the drivers to a voltage supply so that they can be disabled, and the semiconductor main relay(s) is (are) operated as a voltage controller in selected situations and as a semiconductor switch in the other situations. In addition, the invention relates to the use of the above circuit arrangement in a motor vehicle brake system, in particular in a driving dynamics control system, or a system for chassis control or in an electronic actuation unit for vehicle safety systems.

Abstract: The invention relates to an actuating pedal for motor vehicles that is rotatably mounted by means of a pivot axis and includes a sensor device which picks up the pedal travel. According to the invention, the sensor device is comprised of an encoder member and at least two magnetically sensitive sensing elements cooperating with the encoder member.
