DISCRETE HARDWARE SAFING CIRCUIT

摘要

A discrete hardware safing circuit includes a sensor the provides a signal indicating a vehicle acceleration in a direction and at least one comparator that determines if the vehicle acceleration exceeds a predetermined threshold. A capacitive switch is activated based on a determination from the at least one comparator that the predetermined threshold was exceeded and remains activated as long as the predetermined threshold is exceeded and for an additional time period. A router routes an enable signal based on the activation of the capacitive switch.
