U6268B
Side-Airbag Sensor Dual Interface
Description
The U6268B is an interface IC for remote automotive
sensors. It links the crash sensors in the driver- and
passenger door with the main airbag unit in the
dashboard. Two identical channels supply the external
sensors and receive digital information from them via one
active wire each. The interface supplies the external
sensors with a pre-regulated smoothed voltage, the
external units transmit the digital information back to the
interface by current modulation.
As the device is for safety critical applications, highest
data transmission security is mandatory. With high
immunity against cross-coupling between the two
channels, the U6228B is tailored for the harsh automotive
environment.
