Abstract (en)

An electronic circuit for detecting the starting of an internal combustion engine, in particular for motor cars, configured to detect the variation in the voltage drop (V) on the supply cable to the starter motor (MA). Starting of the internal combustion engine is detected when the voltage (V) no longer oscillates. The circuit further includes an intrinsic time delay interval for the purpose of discriminating false starts, and a starting memorisation circuit. <IMAGE>
