Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for reconstructing data values of a sensor signal at arbitrary times, in particular in motor vehicles, with at least one control unit and with at least one sensor with transmission of digital signal values via a transmission path to the control unit, and a receiver unit for this ,
- sensors in different versions for example as acceleration sensors, for the function of crash sensors u. a. Used for detecting impact events for years.
- a sensor measures a physical quantity, for example an acceleration in the event of an impact, and, in the event of an impact, delivers specific data signals, which are transmitted to a central control unit or a control unit in a special form.
- the signal values of a sensor can be digitized in an analog version of the sensor. This happens synchronously by the predetermined by the operating software of the controller sampling rate of the analog-to-digital converter of the controller.
- the updating of the sensor data values takes place in a different time range than the collection of the data values via the digital interface of the controller or of the system with so-called asynchronous sampling. This results in a temporal blur, which is referred to as jitter. This reduces the quality of the signal values.
- a peripheral acceleration sensor has its own sampling rate with a specific value and transmits this data to the control unit in a time-discrete manner. Its sampling rate is generated by a sensor located in the own clock, which, however, is not quartz for cost reasons. For this reason, the frequency of this clock can be subject to a corresponding fluctuation as a function of the temperature, with the result that the data values retrieved by the control unit for evaluation have a jitter at the rate to the control unit.
- a synchronization of the sensor signal with the system clock of the controller could lead to a solution to this problem, but this is not possible due to the choice of the evaluation concept in the sensor.
- a transmission of a synchronization signal to a peripheral sensor would cause considerable costs.
- an increase in the update rate due to the limited data rate of the interface to the peripheral sensor is not possible.
- the inventive method and the device according to the invention for reconstructing data values of a sensor signal at arbitrary times now make it possible to transfer signal values of the sensor to the evaluation system independently of different sampling rates of the sensor and of the control device with reduction of the jitter effects.
- the receiver module in the control unit detects the clock ratio between the peripheral sensor and the evaluation in the control unit.
- the receiver module determines the signal values to be forwarded to the evaluation of the control unit by linear interpolation of the data values received by the sensor.
- linear interpolation Even complicated arithmetic operations such as polynomial interpolations are possible, and polynomial extrapolations are also conceivable in order to save the delay time between the physical quantity applied to the sensor and the signal forwarded to the control unit. Depending on the algorithm, this increases the effectiveness with regard to tripping times and crash discrimination.
- An essential advantage of the invention is that in the case of airbag control units even with the use of "jitter-sensitive" algorithms synchronization of the sensor signals with the system clock of the central evaluation unit can be dispensed with, and that the interpolation algorithm is preferably programmable. This saves the complex implementation of the synchronization and increases the flexibility in the selection of evaluation concepts of sensors and the selection of technologies.
- the method for reconstructing data values of a sensor signal at arbitrary times, in particular in motor vehicles, with at least one control unit and with at least one sensor with transmission of digital signal values via a transmission path to the control unit comprises the following method steps:
- method step (S1) it is advantageous for method step (S1) to process the sampled data values by means of a filter as signal processing and a digital coding unit.
- the filter is a Tiefpassf ⁇ lter.
- the data values are subjected to a specific processing whose properties are advantageously included in the evaluation of the transmitted digital data values.
- the coding unit is a time-discrete coder which transmits the digital signal values in a fixed frequency. This advantageously takes place independently of the frequency of the clock rate of the control unit, whereby no synchronization is required.
- the method step (S2) has the following substeps:
- the method step (S3) has the following substeps:
- the interpolation device can reconstruct signal values of a continuous signal for all times between the discrete points in time and beyond by interpolating and / or extrapolating.
- the senor comprises: a sensor element for scanning a sensor signal; a signal conditioning for processing the sampled sensor signal; and an encoding unit for encoding the conditioned sensor signal
- the controller comprises a receiver unit comprising: an input unit for receiving transmitted digital signal values of the sensor signal; a memory device for storing the digital signal values; and an interpolation unit for reconstructing data values of the sensor signal.
- the signal conditioning of the sensor is designed as a low-pass filter and the coding unit as a digital time-discrete encoder.
- the interpolation unit has a programmable interpolation algorithm, which results in a large adaptability to different technologies.
- the receiver unit of the device according to the invention is designed as an ASIC, wherein the interpolation unit forms part of the software of this ASIC. This is advantageous because no space for additional components is required.
- a receiver unit comprises: an input unit for receiving transmitted digital signal values of a sensor signal; a memory device for storing the digital signal values; and an interpolation unit for reconstructing data values of the sensor signal.
- the receiver unit is designed as an ASIC and the interpolation unit forms part of the software of this ASIC.

- the clock of such a sensor is temperature sensitive and may, for example, be subject to a variation of up to 6%.

- Fig. 1 This is illustrated in Fig. 1 in a diagram.
- An amplitude a of signals is plotted over an axis with the time t.
- a first and a second signal 17 and 18, which have their origin in a common point. Due to the above-mentioned fluctuations and different clock rates, there is a time offset 19 between the signals 17, 18, the in the course of time t is getting bigger. From these two signals 17, 18, a beat signal with different frequency and different amplitude a can arise in a known manner, which leads to misinterpretations when evaluated.
- the sensors Since, as mentioned above, the internal clock of the sensor can not be changed, the sensors would have to be synchronized to reduce the jitter, so the time offset 19, to let the jitter go back to zero.
- the update rate of the sensors can also be increased. However, there are limits set by the process technology and the measuring principle, so that an "increase" of this update rate can be made by interpolation.
- FIG. 2 illustrates an enlarged portion of a sensor signal 20 plotted in amplitude a over time t.

- This signal is processed in a signal conditioning 12 in a predetermined manner, for example by running a low pass filter with certain characteristics, for example attenuation or gain, cutoff frequency.
- the filtered signal is fed to a coding unit 13, which encodes the signal digitally discrete time at a specific fixed clock rate.
- the signal is then fed via the transmission path 9 to the control unit 6.
- the control unit 6 has a receiver unit 7, which is preferably designed as an ASIC.
- the transmitted signal in the form of digital signal values is received in an input unit 14 and buffered in a memory device 15.
- the input unit 14 may amplify the received signal in a known manner.
- the data values ai... A n are now present in the memory device, for example, as shown in FIG.
- an interpolation unit 16 calculates arbitrary data values Si 1 at arbitrary times t 1 (see FIG. 2).
- the continuous sensor signal 20 can be reconstructed.
- the sensor 2 can supply its signal values with the clock associated with it, and the control unit can obtain any data values interpolated from these signal values with its own clock.
- the interpolation algorithms can be implemented as software in the ASIC software, so that no additional components are required for this.
