ABSTRACT:
A closed loop air/fuel ratio controller for an internal combustion engine includes a control circuit responsive to the output of an exhaust gas sensor representing at least the sense of deviation of the air/fuel ratio of the mixture supplied to the engine from stoichiometry and provides a control signal which is used to adjust the air/fuel ratio of the mixture supplied to the engine in direction tending to restore a stoichiometric air/fuel ratio. The control signal includes an integral correction term and an asymmetrical proportional correction term that abruptly shifts the value of the control signal upon a detected change in at least one direction in the sense of the deviation of the air/fuel ratio from a stoichiometric air/fuel ratio. The asymmetrical proportional term provides either singularly or in combination with an asymmetrical integral term a scheduled air/fuel ratio offset from the stoichiometric air/fuel ratio with the offset value being a function of the system gains and the limit cycle frequency of the control signal that is determined primarily by the transport delay through the engine and exhaust system.
