Abstract

An improved electronic controller for electrically actuated vehicle brakes includes a triple sloping integrator for providing a control signal to a pulse with modulator controller. The circuit further includes a protection circuit for protecting electrical devices in the electronic controller from an inadequate electrical ground. Where the electronic controller includes an inertial sensor, the electronic controller includes a current control device for controlling the current flow through the inertial sensor. The electronic controller also includes a device for disabling the inertial sensor.
