Abstract

See full text

A circuit configuration which serves to condition the output signal of a rotational speed sensor, e.g., the wheel sensor of an automotive vehicle. The circuit configuration includes a trigger circuit, the 'hysteresis' or trigger thresholds thereof being controllable, and includes circuits for determining a coupling factor which, multiplied by the frequency of the sensor signal corresponding to the speed of rotation, forms the amplitude of the sensor output signal. To determine the coupling factor, and to adjust the hysteresis, threshold values are predefined for the output signal of the rotational speed sensor. Upon start of the vehicle, the coupling factor is determined from the frequency of the sensor signal at the point of time the threshold values are reached, and the hysteresis is adjusted accordingly.
