In an acceleration sensor having two redundantly disposed micromechanical sensor elements having redundant signal paths with a separate A/D converter, a monitor includes a substitute circuit, integrated in the evaluation unit, for a sensor element, and a redundant further A/D converter, which converts the fixed, acceleration-independent output signal of the substitute circuit as a function of the shared operating parameters of all A/D converters to plausibilize the output signals of the acceleration sensor by means of the monitor. This makes it possible to detect faulty triggering of an airbag due to faults in both A/D converters.
