An acceleration sensor module, installed in a front region and/or a side
region of a vehicle, includes a sensing section and an adjusting section.
The sensing section includes a capacitive detecting section and a
converting section. The detecting section detects the acceleration of the
vehicle. The converting section converts a capacitance value into a
voltage value. The adjusting section includes an AD converter, a
communication circuit, a power source section, and an oscillator. The AD
converter converts an analog output of the converting section into a
digital value. The communication circuit sends an output of the AD
converter to a collision judging section. The power source section
supplies electric power to each of the AD converter, the communication
circuit, and the sensing section. The oscillator supplies the clock to
the AD converter and to the converting section of the sensing section.
