An apparatus for operating a gas generator for a safety device for a vehicle includes: a first terminal and a second terminal for furnishing a triggering voltage for triggering the safety device; a firing device configured to fire in response to a firing current, in order to open a closure element; an electrical coil configured to actuate, in response to a coil current, a closure device for controlling a gas flow through the outlet opening, the coil being connected in series with the firing device between the first terminal and the second terminal; and an electrical component having a voltage-dependent resistance and connected in parallel with the firing device.
An apparatus for operating a gas generator for a safety device for a vehicle, the gas generator having a container for storing gas, and the container having an outlet opening for the gas, which outlet opening is selectively closed off by a closure element, the apparatus comprising:
A safety apparatus for a vehicle, the safety apparatus comprising:
A method for operating a gas generator for a safety device for a vehicle, the gas generator having a container for storing gas, and the container having an outlet opening for the gas, which outlet opening is selectively closed off by a closure element, and the apparatus having (i) a first terminal and a second terminal for providing a triggering voltage for triggering the safety device, (ii) a firing device configured to fire in response to a firing current, in order to open the closure element, (iii) an electrical coil configured to actuate, in response to a coil current, the closure device for controlling the gas flow through the outlet opening, the coil being connected in series with the firing device between the first terminal and the second terminal, and (iv) an electrical component having a voltage-dependent resistance and being connected in parallel with the firing device, the method comprising:
A non-transitory, machine-readable data storage medium storing a computer program having program codes which, when executed on a computer, perform a method for operating a gas generator for a safety device for a vehicle, the gas generator having a container for storing gas, and the container having an outlet opening for the gas, which outlet opening is selectively closed off by a closure element, and the apparatus having (i) a first terminal and a second terminal for providing a triggering voltage for triggering the safety device, (ii) a firing device configured to fire in response to a firing current, in order to open the closure element, (iii) an electrical coil configured to actuate, in response to a coil current, the closure device for controlling the gas flow through the outlet opening, the coil being connected in series with the firing device between the first terminal and the second terminal, and (iv) an electrical component having a voltage-dependent resistance and being connected in parallel with the firing device, the method comprising:
