Abstract
The invention relates to a method for generating the working clock in a module of a data transmission system. The system is particularly suitable for use in a vehicle occupant protection system of a motor vehicle. A control unit of the data transmission system transmits a synchronization clock signal to the module. The module contains a frequency-locked and/or phase-locked loop which receives the synchronization clock signal and which generates the module working clock on the basis of the synchronization clock signal.
