Abstract
In a method for decoding digital PWM signal and a bus system, a peripheral unit, and a device therefor, the digital signal is decoded by integrating the pulse width of each bit and then comparing the integration result with a reference signal. The bus system includes dual wires, a device, and at least one peripheral unit. In an embodiment of the present invention, the bus system issued as an air bag system where diagnostic and deployment commands are sent via the bus wires to one or more peripheral units which control individual air bags.
