Abstract

A control unit and a method for triggering passenger protection device for a vehicle are described, a computer having an integrated circuit transmitting a signal and, as a function of this signal, a current source in the integrated circuit outputting a current for charging the capacitors connected to the integrated circuit and situated in the ignition circuit. The charge of these capacitors is output via a third interface using a characterizing measuring signal.
