Definitions
- the invention is based on an electronic device according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the component to be controlled with a current is generally operated with a single mechanical or electronic switch connected to the positive or negative pole of the battery to put it into operation.
- ignition coil ignition coil
- injection valve / relay or the like
- a single mechanical or electronic switch connected to the positive or negative pole of the battery to put it into operation.
- the activation of a load resistor by a single switch is not sufficiently reliable since there is no possibility of checking the switch. Closing the switch immediately activates the load element.
- a test circuit for the release device of a safety device serving to protect the occupants of a vehicle during an accident in which a semiconductor switch in series with the output stage semiconductor switch of the release device and for Safety device is switched and in which a test program prevents simultaneous conduction of both semiconductor switches.
- the output stage circuit is checked only once and immediately after the supply voltage has been switched on. After the test cycle has been successfully completed, however, the semiconductor switch connected in series with the output stage semiconductor switch remains in its conductive state and thus switched on. A constant check of the output stage semiconductor switch that triggers the safety device is not possible.
- the electronic device according to the invention with the characterizing features of the main claim has the advantage that the output stage, the switching process of which triggers a current via the ignition element of the safety device, can be checked continuously. This increases the functional safety of a safety system for vehicle occupants.
- FIG. 1 shows a first circuit configuration of the exemplary embodiment
- FIG. 2 shows a second exemplary embodiment with transistors as switching elements
- FIG. 3 shows a signal diagram to explain the mode of operation of the invention.
- the electronic device comprises a control device 12 connected to a power source, in particular a battery 15, which is connected on the input side to at least one sensor 11.
- the sensor 11 is preferably an acceleration sensor, at the output of which either an acceleration-proportional voltage signal is generated or a voltage signal which only arises when a definable acceleration threshold is exceeded.
- the control device is connected to two switching elements 14a, 14b and a load 13, the switching elements 14a, 14b and the load 13 being connected in series in such a way that a respective connection of the load is activated by actuating a switching element 14a, 14b 13 can be connected to one pole of the current source 15.
- the load 13 is, for example, a load resistor in the form of a squib or the like, which in turn is part of a securing means 16 and activates it when the current is sufficiently large.
- the securing means 16 are, for example, an airbag which is inflated by a gas charge activated by the squib (load 13) and in this way protects vehicle occupants from damage in the event of an accident.
- FIG. 2 complementary transistors are provided as switching elements 14a, 14b, which can be controlled by the control device 12.
- FIG. 3a shows control pulses of the control device 12 for the switching element 14a
- FIG. 3b shows control pulses of the control device 12 for the switching element 14b
- FIG. 3c shows the output signal of the sensor 11 in the event of an accident, which should lead to the activation of the securing means 16.
- the switching element 14a is controlled by the control device 12 via the control line 12a in such a way that it changes to the conductive state and a connection of the load 13, in this case the connection connected to the line 13a, is connected to a pole of the current source 15 .
- the conductive state of the switching element 14a exists in the time interval t, t.
- the second switching element 14b is not activated by the control device 12, so that the other connection of the load 13 is not connected to one pole of the current source 15.
- a circuit is first closed via the control unit 12 (lines 15a, 13a), which makes it possible to check the functionality of the switching element 14a itself.
- a second circuit is also closed via the control device 12 (lines 15a, 13b), which enables the control device 12 to also check the state of the load 13 itself. For example, it can be determined in this way whether there is a short circuit, an inadmissibly high resistance or even an interruption in the load 13.
- the actuation of the switching element 14a is canceled again.
- the switching element 14b is then actuated by the control device 12 in the time interval t, t such that the other connection of the Load 13 is connected to a pole (line 15b) of the current source 15.
- the control unit 12 can now check the state of the switching element 14b and again the state of the load 13 itself. This alternate check of the output stages driving the load 13 is repeated as shown in the diagrams in FIG. 3a, FIG. 3b in order to check the functionality. Only when the sensor 11 sends a signal indicating an accident to the control unit 12, for example at time t, are the two switching elements 14a, 14b simultaneously activated by the control unit 12, so that the load 13 is connected to each a pole of the power source 15 is connected. A current can now flow through the load 13, which in the case of a squib serves as a load to ignite it and to inflate the airbag (gas bag) through an activated gas propellant charge.
- the diagrams in FIG. 3 show that the switching elements 14a, 14b are periodically actuated by the control device 12 in such a way that they are alternately in a conductive or non-conductive state, so that only one connection of the load 13 is in each case is connected to a pole of the current source 15. 3 also shows that the duration of the conductive or non-conductive state of the switching elements 14a, 14b is essentially the same length. It is within the scope of the invention to modify the named time intervals according to practical aspects and, for example, to select the activation times that lead to a conductive state of the switching elements 14a, 14b shorter than the time intervals in which the switching elements 14a, 14b do not lead.
- each switching element 14a or 14b it is possible to control each switching element 14a or 14b with different time intervals, if this is the case is appropriate for the respective application.
- the invention enables the permanent functional control of both the switching elements 14a, 14b and the load 13 itself, so that a high degree of reliability of the device is ensured.

Abstract
Un dispositif électronique d'alimentation d'une charge (13) comprend un appareil de commande (12) qui commande cycliquement des commutateurs (14a, 14b) de sorte que seule une connexion de la charge (13) peut être reliée à la fois à un pôle d'une source de courant (15). L'état des commutateurs (14a, 14b) et de la charge (13) peut ainsi être contrôlé en permanence.
