  • Error detection circuit for an airbag deployment control system
    Patent number: 6559557
    Abstract: An error detection circuit for an airbag deployment control system includes a delay circuit receiving an analog acceleration signal, a difference circuit producing a difference signal based on a time difference between the original and delayed acceleration signals, and a first comparator circuit comparing the difference signal to first and second threshold signals. If the difference signal falls within an error region defined between the first and second threshold values, a decision circuit inhibits an otherwise pending airbag deployment event. If, on the other hand, the difference signal falls outside of the error region, the decision circuit allows airbag deployment with minimal delay.
