ABSTRACT:
An electronic control unit for regulating the air/fuel ratio of an internal combustion engine is disclosed. The electronic control unit includes an injector driver circuit which regulates the timing of the opening and closing operations of a plurality of electromagnetic solenoid injectors which input fuel to the engine. The injector driver circuit controls the injection with a pulse width modulated signal to supply an amount of fuel calculated from the operating parameters of the engine. The injector driver circuit is further provided with an energy dissipation circuit to assist in the rapid de-energization of the solenoid injectors. The energy dissipation circuit drains the energy stored in the rapidly collapsing magnetic field of a de-energized injector through a power device whose energy dissipation is controlled by the breakdown voltage of a Zener diode connected to the control terminal of the power device. The power device provides a variable conductance which dissipates an amount of energy proportional to the gain of the device times the amount of energy dissipated through the Zener diode. Preferably, the power device can be a final driver transistor used by the injector driver circuit to open and close the injectors.
