Control device and method for triggering personal protection means for a vehicle
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A control device for triggering a personal protection arrangement for a vehicle, comprising:
- an energy reserve, which provides electrical energy for the triggering; and
a control circuit;
wherein;
the control circuit;
forms, from the electrical energy, at least one firing pulse for the triggering of the personal protection arrangement, a first firing pulse amplitude and a first firing pulse duration of the at least one firing pulse being dependent on the personal protection arrangement to be triggered;
in a first time interval, specifies the at least one firing pulse at a second firing pulse amplitude and a second firing pulse duration; and
in a second time interval following the first time interval, specifies the at least one firing pulse at a third firing pulse amplitude and a third firing pulse duration;
the second firing pulse amplitude is greater than the third firing pulse amplitude;
the second firing pulse duration is shorter than the third firing pulse duration;
the first time interval is used for triggering a first personal protection arrangement; and
the second time interval is used for triggering a second personal protection arrangement.

Abstract
A control device and a method for triggering personal protection arrangement for a vehicle are provided, an energy reserve supplying electrical energy for the triggering. A control circuit is provided, which, as a function of the personal protection arrangement to be triggered, forms from the electrical energy at least one individual firing pulse for triggering the individual personal protection arrangement, with respect to a first firing pulse amplitude and a first firing pulse duration.

5. A method for triggering a personal protection arrangement for a vehicle, the method comprising:
-
providing an energy reserve for providing electrical energy for the triggering; and using a control circuit to form, from the electrical energy, at least one firing pulse for the triggering of the personal protection arrangement, a first firing pulse amplitude and a first firing pulse duration of the at least one firing pulse being dependent on the personal protection arrangement to be triggered; wherein; the control circuit specifies the at least one firing pulse in a first time interval at a second firing pulse amplitude and a second firing pulse duration, and, in a second time interval following the first time interval, at a third firing pulse amplitude and a third firing pulse duration; the second firing pulse amplitude is greater than the third firing pulse amplitude; the second firing pulse duration is shorter than the third firing pulse duration; the first time interval is used to control a first personal protection arrangement; and the second time interval is used to control a second personal protection arrangement. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)
