Abstract

A receiver configuration for a control unit in a vehicle having a voltage generator for generating a synchronization pulse, which includes a first voltage source, a current source and a current sink, the voltage generator generating the synchronization pulse within predefined specification limits having a predefined shape and a predefined time behavior, and the receiver configuration outputting the synchronization pulse for synchronizing a signal transmission via a databus to at least one sensor. A method is also provided for generating a synchronization pulse. The voltage generator generates the synchronization pulse via the current source and the current sink by charging and/or discharging a bus load essentially as a sinusoidal oscillation.
