An acceleration detecting apparatus and occupant protective system using it are provided which can detect acceleration in a wider range with maintaining the high resolution in detecting low acceleration. The acceleration detecting apparatus includes an acceleration sensor for detecting acceleration; and an acceleration correcting section for obtaining when acceleration outside a range detectable by the acceleration sensor is applied, the acceleration outside the range by calculation. The occupant protective system includes, in addition to the acceleration detecting apparatus, an occupant protective apparatus installed in a vehicle; and a driving unit for driving the occupant protective apparatus in response to the acceleration from the acceleration detecting apparatus. |
