ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for controlling an ignition coil of internal combustion engines including a power transistor connected to the primary winding of an ignition coil for controlling the energization and deenergization of the primary winding in response to a signal applied to the base of the power transistor. A feedback circuit, including a constant voltage diode, a capacitor and a resistor, is connected between the collector and base of the power transistor. When the power transistor becomes conductive from a nonconductive condition, a collector current of the power transistor flows through the capacitor and constant voltage diode due to the Miller integrator effect and the transition from nonconduction to conduction of the power transistor is made gradual thereby reducing a voltage generated in the secondary winding of the ignition coil.
On the contrary, when the power transistor becomes nonconductive from the conductive condition, the constant voltage diode is rendered conductive due to a high voltage generated at the collector of the power transistor to allow a base current to flow and in turn to allow a collector current thereby preventing breakdown of the power transistor.
