Chassis Systems Control
AB12 – New generation
of airbag control units
Characteristics
The airbag control units AB12 base and AB12 plus are
fl exible and scalable with respect to the number of fi
ring loops and sensor interfaces for peripheral crash
sensors. The airbag control units can trigger up to 32 fi
ring loops and control 12 PSI5 sensor interfaces. There
is also the option to expand the control units to trigger
up to 48 fi ring loops and control up to 18 sensor
interfaces.
High-g sensors and optional rollover sensors are
already integrated into the control unit of the variant
AB12 base. With the AB12 plus variant Bosch has
developed a concept which integrates the airbag
control and the ESP® inertial sensors into one compact
airbag control unit, saving both space and cost. There
is also the option of extending the AB12 plus variant
with a complete set of angular rate and acceleration
sensors for all three dimensions (6D), meaning that

Hardware and system concept
The AB12 control units have a new mechanical design
consisting of a metal base plate and a plastic housing.
The platform design enables customerspecific design of
the base plate, the connector system and the level of
ingress protection (IP54; optionally up to IP58).
