Device for prompting a controller
First Claim
1. A device for prompting a controller in a vehicle having a power supply circuit for the controller, to transfer the controller from an idle state into a normal operating state, said device comprising:
- a prompting means actuatable for switching the power supply through to bring the controller into the normal operating state;
whereinthe prompting means is connected in series with an impulse generator stage, between power supply lines;
the impulse generator stage has a central tap which is connected directly or indirectly with the control input of a first transistor;
an output of the first transistor is connected directly or indirectly with a control input of a second transistor that connects the supply power with the controller; and
a connection line from an output of the second transistor is fed back to a node in a conductor which connects the central tap and the control input of the first transistor, for self-holding of the through switching state of the second transistor.

Abstract
A device for prompting a controller in a vehicle to switch the controller from a normal operating state into an idle state includes a prompting device which switches a power supply through to the controller when activated to bring it into the normal operating state. The prompting device is connected in series to a first condenser and a resistor between power supply lines. A central tap between the first condenser and the resistor is connected directly or indirectly with the control input of a first transistor. An output of the first transistor is connected directly or indirectly with a control input of a second transistor that switches the supply current for the controller to be prompted. A connection line led back from the second transistor to the node between central tap and control input of the first transistor.

9. Apparatus for prompting a controller to change from an idle state to an active state, said apparatus comprising:
-
a first electronic switch having a control input and a first interruptible current path connected between a power supply source and a fixed potential; a second electronic switch having a control input connected to a voltage at said first interruptible flow path, and having a second interruptible flow path connected between said power supply source and said controller; an impulse generator; an input switching device connected in series with said impulse generator, for interruptibly connecting said impulse generator to said power supply source; a first connecting line which connects said control input of said first electronic switch directly or indirectly to a central top of said impulse generator; and a second connection line which connects said second current flow path directly or indirectly to a node in said first connecting line. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)
