Abstract
The present invention relates to a circuit arrangement for the error-free analog-to-digital conversion of N analog input signals Nin a plurality of digital output signals corresponding to the number N using exactly one analog-to-digital converter, wherein N>=1, wherein further N' other redundancy inputs N′are provided, and being fed to the said analog-to-digital converter, wherein the N and the N′ inputs are supplied to at least one analog multiplexer, and wherein the circuit arrangement has an error monitoring functionality, and each input signal Nis counter to the corresponding redundancy signal N′. The invention also relates to the use of the circuit arrangement in electronic motor vehicle control units with an anti-lock function.
