  • Device and method for providing an activation voltage for a safety unit for a vehicle, and safety device
    Patent number: 10457237
    Abstract: A device for providing an activation voltage for a safety unit for a vehicle. The device includes a supply terminal for applying a first supply voltage potential, an activation terminal for outputting the activation voltage, and a control terminal for reading in a control signal. In addition, the device includes a pass-through switch that is connected between the supply terminal and the activation terminal, a first control switch, a second control switch, and a third control switch that includes a control input that is connected to the control terminal.

  • CIRCUIT AND METHOD FOR TESTING ELECTRICALLY CONTROLLABLE POWER SWITCHES FOR ACTIVATING OCCUPANT PROTECTION MEANS
    Publication number: 20100280815
    Abstract: A circuit and a method for testing electrically controllable power switches for activating occupant protection means are proposed. A triggering element for the testing is simulated in that a resistance of this simulation is changed for each of the consecutive time blocks by activating the simulation.
