IGNITION SYSTEM WITH ENHANCED COMBUSTION AND FAULT TOLERANCE

摘要

An ignition system having a first primary coil magnetically coupled only to a first secondary coil and a second primary coil magnetically coupled only to a second secondary coil. The secondary coils are electrically coupled to the output terminals through a didode steering circuit for connecting both secondary coils in voltage-aiding series such that the sum of the voltages on both secondary coils is coupled across the output terminals when both primary coils are simultaneously actuated, only the first secondary coil is coupled across the output terminals when only the first primary coil is actuated; and only the second secondary coil is coupled across the output terminals when only the second primary coil is actuated. 3223L
