  • Patent number: 6553039
    Abstract: An electronic vehicle controller has a processor unit and a communication output stage for coupling the controller to a databus. A data protocol device, which is connected between the processor unit and the communication output stage, variably defines the data protocol to be used for a particular data transfer, as a function of protocol control information which is supplied to its input side. The data protocol device may be in the form of hardware or software, and allows flexible data protocol selection even at the end of the controller development process.

  • Patent number: 5734658
    Abstract: In a data communication system, in particular for a motor vehicle, the transmission lines that lead to the individual terminals are interconnected at a passive network in a star configuration and are there provided with frequency-dependent attenuation means, preferably ferrite beads. Good characteristic impedance adaptation is thus obtained for suppressing high-frequency distributing signals, while retaining free choice of the system parameters for the steady data symbolic state. The system may be enlarged by means of additional star networks into a tree or meshed structure.
