Abstract: Invention achieves reduced amount of terminals to control a test mode, test function and test results of a given standard for at least one “wrapped core” (40,100) (a core 100 surrounded by a wrapper boundary register (40) as “wrapper chain”). Test flexibility and speed of testing the core (100) are also improved. Suggested serial test interface comprises a state machine (210) and an instruction register (213) for wrapper-instructions, supplied through a single physical data input terminal (1a). The state machine (210) reads wrapper-instructions held by the instruction register (213) and generates on-chip wrapper control signals (30) of the given standard for the wrapper boundary register (40) of the core (100). At least one wrapper-instruction read from the Instruction Register (213) provides at least one wrapper control signal (30). The single input terminal (1a) also supplies an input test signal SDI for coupling to the wrapper boundary register (40) as on chip logical input test signal WSI.

Abstract: In a method for setting the clamping force applied by a parking brake, an electromechanical clamping force portion is set in an electromechanical brake device, and an auxiliary clamping force is set in an auxiliary brake device. A parameter of the electric actuator is regulated to a defined value, while a state variable of the auxiliary brake device, which determines the auxiliary clamping force, is simultaneously set to a setpoint value without feedback control.

Abstract: A method for triggering restraint devices is provided, in which the restraint devices are triggered as a function of a collision signal. The method is launched, however, when the collision signal exceeds a noise threshold. Now a time required for the collision signal to exceed the noise threshold is taken into account in determining the triggering time for a specific restraint device.
