Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A device ( 1 ) for stabilizing a supply voltage (U Batt ) in a motor vehicle, having a function component of the motor vehicle, in particular in the form of a starter ( 4 ), a voltage source ( 10 ) which is connected to the function component ( 4 ) in order to supply the function component ( 4 ) with the supply voltage (U Batt ), characterized in that the voltage source ( 10 ) is connected to the function component ( 4 ) via a resistor cascade ( 30 ) in order to stabilize the supply voltage (U Batt ).
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. Device for stabilizing a supply voltage in a motor vehicle, having: a function component of the motor vehicle, in particular in the form of a starter; and a voltage source, which is connected to the function component in order to supply the function component with the supply voltage, wherein the voltage source is connected to the function component via a resistor cascade in order to stabilize the supply voltage, wherein the resistor cascade is switchable and has at least two cascade branches connected in parallel, wherein each cascade branch has a switch connected in series with a resistor. 2. Device of claim 1 , further comprising a cascade branch configured to bypass the resistors, the cascade branch having only one switch. 3. Device of claim 1 , characterized by a control unit, designed to control the switches. 4. Device of claim 3 wherein the device has a charge pump. 5. Device of claim 4 , wherein the charge pump provides an operating voltage for the control unit. 6. Device of claim 1 wherein the switches in each case take the form of a transistor. 7. Device of claim 3 , wherein the control unit is designed to switch the cascade branches in each case in a time-dependent manner. 8. Device of claim 3 , wherein the control unit is designed to switch the cascade branches in each case as a function of the supply voltage to be stabilized.
