Abstract
The present invention provides an electronic circuit for controlling an actuator comprising a transceiver unit () for a bus system the bus terminal () of which has a monostable behavior with an active period of greater than 1 ms, wherein the transceiver unit () is controlled by a microcontroller (), wherein the monostable behavior of the transceiver unit () is switched off with additionally superimposed control pulses, wherein the time interval between two control pulses is smaller than the monostable active period of the transceiver unit () and the control pulses are generated by temporal combination of two control signals the time resolution of which is lower than the pulse duration of the control pulses derived therefrom, which is implemented by use of a RC combination () and/or a logic gate () with a differentiating or delaying effect.
