ABSTRACT:
A spark ignition system includes a variable reluctance pick-up producing output pulses when sparks are required. A capacitor is connected across the pick-up in series with a resistor and stores the integral of the pick-up output. Two voltage comparators compare the voltages on the capacitor and the resistor with threshold levels and a spark is only produced when both voltages exceed the threshold levels, so as to minimise the risk of spurious signals in the pick-up producing a spark.
