Abstract
A control unit for activating an occupant protection unit includes, at least one analyzer circuit and at least one other component causing the activation. The at least one analyzer circuit transmits a signal to the at least one component as a function of an error event. The at least one other component performs a setting and at least one reset as a function of the signal.
Claims22
A control unit for activating an occupant protection unit for a vehicle, comprising:
- at least one analyzer circuit;
- and
- at least one other component operationally linked to the analyzer circuit;
- wherein the analyzer circuit selectively triggers activation of the occupant protect unit with the aid of the at least one component, the analyzer circuit being configured to transmit a signal to the at least one other component as a function of an event,
- wherein the at least one other component is configured to perform a setting and at least one resetting as a function of the signal, and the setting is a function other than resetting, and
- wherein the occupant protection unit is activated without using dedicated resetting circuitry.
