Ignition coil energizing circuit

摘要

An ignition coil energizing circuit is provided which has a signal generator for generating an output signal having a frequency corresponding to an engine rotational speed, a switching circuit connected to an ignition coil, a current detector for detecting a current flowing through the ignition coil, a duty control for supplying to the switching circuit a control signal having a duty cycle corresponding to a duty cycle of an output signal from the signal generator and controlling a conduction state of the switching circuit, and a current control circuit for controlling the switching circuit in response to an output signal generated from the current detector and maintaining a current flowing through the current detector at a predetermined value. The ignition coil energizing circuit also has a timer for generating an output signal when the switching circuit is detected to be on over a predetermined period of time and a current supply circuit for supplying a gradually increasing current to the current detector in response to an output signal of the timer.
