Control unit and method for activating passenger protection means and sensor for outputting a crash-relevant signal

摘要

A control unit and a method for activating passenger protection arrangement, as well as a sensor for outputting a crash-relevant signal, are proposed. A digital signal, which is relevant for activating the passenger protection arrangement, is output with the aid of an interface. The interface has a plurality of power sources for influencing the signal edges of the digital signal.

主权项

1. A control unit for activating a passenger protection arrangement, comprising:
at least one interface configured to output a digital data signal, wherein the at least one interface has a plurality of power sources for influencing signal edges of the digital data signal; and a microcontroller configured to control the activation of the passenger protection arrangement based on the digital data signal; wherein the control unit configures the signal edges by switching the power sources to shape slopes of the signal edges, so as to provide an optimum electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
