Abstract:
A configuration for triggering a restraint device in a motor vehicle, comprising:a sensor for accident detection, said sensor outputting an impact signal in an event of an impact on the vehicle; a control device connected downstream of said sensor and generating a control signal in response to the impact signal supplied by said sensor, the control signal composed of a first current in a first direction and a subsequent second current in second direction opposite the first direction; a line; a firing element for firing the restraint device; and a firing device disposed spatially separate from said control device and connected to said control device through said line and also electrically coupled to said firing element, said firing device having an integration device for integrating the first current and an enable device connected downstream of said integration device and serving for enabling firing of said firing element, the firing of said firing element being effected by the second current when a limit value of an integral of the first current has been reached.
