Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0555851A2] A device for controlling an electronic engine ignition system (2) comprising a coil (3), the primary winding (4) of which is connected between a reference voltage and ground via a switch block (5), and the secondary binding (6) of which is connected between the electrode of a spark plug (7) and ground. The device comprises means for detecting, for the spark of each operating cycle, signals relative to the energy at the spark plug; means for computing engine speed; means for comparing the energy of the plug with optimum values for each engine speed; and means for controlling charging of the primary winding via a signal resulting from the above comparison, and for driving the switch block, so as to control energy supply to the plug for the spark of the next cycle. <IMAGE>
