Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03040551A2] The invention relates to a starter device (160) for an internal combustion engine, comprising a starter motor (140) and a switching control device for controlling the starter motor (140). The latter comprises a power switching module (165,170, 175, 180) connecting the starter motor (140) to a voltage source (130). The switching control device also comprises a control electronics system (195) used to control the power switching module (165,170, 175, 180), and an actuating device (135) used to activate the control electronics system (195). The control electronics system (195) is configured in such a way that it can be operated with a supply voltage which is less than 5V, thereby ensuring safe operation of the starter device even if the supply voltage falls off in the wake of the starting process.
