1. A control unit for actuating a passenger protection arrangement, comprising:
- a processor; and
an electronic safety switch that, as a function of a signal of an acceleration sensor system, enables an output stage to be actuated by the processor, the enabling occurring independently of the processor, the processor actuating the output stage as a function of the signal, wherein the safety switch analyzes an integrated acceleration signal as the signal of the acceleration sensor system, wherein the acceleration sensor system includes an integrator for outputting the integrated acceleration signal, the integrator configured to generate the integrated acceleration signal independently of the processor.
