Method and apparatus for driving starters of internal combustion engines

摘要

The method involves generating drive signals for a starter motor and relay by sending the start demand to an input functional block (50), processing signals from this block in a processing block (60) with a diagnostic functional component (61), a safety function (62) and a process controller (66) and generating mutually decoupled drive signals (71,72) in an output block (70) with clock-controlled end stages (69). AN Independent claim is also included for the following: (a) a device for implementing the inventive method.
