Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for comparing redundant signals in functional safe systems are provided, including methods for mitigating differing signal path delays and for signal weighting of the redundant signals are proposed. An Apparatus includes a first signal path for a first measurement signal of a physical quantity, the first signal path having a first signal propagation delay; a second signal path for a second measurement signal of the physical quantity, the second signal path having a second signal propagation delay different from the first signal propagation delay; a delay compensation circuit configured to compensate for a difference between the first and second signal propagation delays to generate delay-compensated first and second measurement signals; and comparison circuitry configured to compare the delay-compensated first and second measurement signals.

Abstract: An apparatus for providing an error signal for a control unit, the error signal indicating a malfunction of a sensor unit. The apparatus includes an input module configured to receive a sensor signal from the sensor unit, the sensor signal being a periodic signal between an upper level and a lower level of a physical quantity. Further, the apparatus includes a determination module configured to determine the malfunction of the sensor unit and an output module configured to provide the error signal indicating the malfunction for the control unit. The error signal comprises a predetermined level of the physical quantity which differs from the upper level and from the lower level.

Abstract: A off-axis angle sensor may receive a set of output signals including a first output signal, a second output signal, and a third output signal. The off-axis angle sensor may determine, based on the set of output signals, a set of delta signals including a first delta signal, a second delta signal, and a third delta signal. The off-axis angle sensor may identify a set of functional safety checks, from a plurality of functional safety checks configured on the off-axis angle sensor, for selective performance in association with determining functional safety of the off-axis angle sensor. Each of the plurality of functional safety checks may be performed independently of each of the other functional safety checks. The off-axis angle sensor may perform one or more functional safety checks based at least in part on at least one of: the set of output signals or the set of delta signals.

Abstract: Rotational angle sensor systems and methods are provided for detecting an angular position of a movable structure. A system may include a movable structure, a rotating member, a magnet and an angular sensor. The movable structure may be configured to rotate about an axis of rotation between a first rotational position and a second rotational position. A rotating member may be coupled to the movable structure and configured to rotate about the axis of rotation based on movement of the movable structure such that rotational positions of the rotating member and the movable structure correspond to one another. A magnet may have a magnetic field pattern with a magnetic field orientation and an angle sensor may be configured to detect the magnetic field pattern and generate one or more signals, based on the magnetic field orientation, corresponding to the rotational position of the movable structure.

Abstract: A sensor device is provided with a magnetic field sensitive element to be positioned in a magnetic field of a magnet. The magnet is positioned on an end face of a cam shaft of an engine. The magnetic field sensitive element is configured to sense an orientation angle of the magnetic field in the range between 0° and 360°. Further, the sensor device is provided with a memory. The memory stores a mapping of pulse edges to orientation angles. Further, the sensor device is provided with electronic circuitry. The electronic circuitry is configured to generate, depending on the sensed orientation angle and the stored mapping of pulse edges to orientation angles, a signal comprising a pattern of pulses with rising and falling pulse edges which are mapped to predefined orientation angles as sensed by the magnetic field sensitive element.

Abstract: The described techniques address the issues associated with conventional OoS sensor systems by mounting a magnetized ring onto a rotatable shaft for which an angular position is to be measured. Specific sensor configurations are disclosed regarding each magnetic sensor's position with respect to one another and each magnetic sensor's position with respect to the rotatable shaft. The described configurations provide a stray-field robust solution due to the specific magnetic sensor configurations such that, when stray fields are present, pairs of magnetic sensors are exposed to essentially the same stray field components, which thus cancel one another. Thus, the angle of the rotatable shaft as a function of the measured strength of the magnetic field components at any time instant can be calculated even in the present of stray magnetic fields.
