摘要:
An ignition apparatus including a primary (22) and a secondary (24) winding for producing a spark voltage, an ion current detection circuit (32) for producing an ion current signal (33), a slope detector (36) and a knock detector (34). The slope detector (36) determines when the ion current signal (33) exhibits a slope indicative of a time period (t2-t3) when knock is likely to occur, and de-asserts a knock reset signal (64). The knock reset signal (64) holds the knock detector (34) in reset, thus disallowing or masking the processing of signals by the knock detector (36) that may be mistaken for knock.
摘要:
An ignition apparatus (10) includes a central core (16) extending along a main axis (A), and a primary winding (24) disposed radially outwardly thereof. The ignition apparatus (10) further includes a secondary winding (30). The primary winding (24) has a greater axial length than the secondary winding (30), this additional axial length being implemented on the low-voltage axial end (42) of the ignition apparatus, relative to the main axis. The extended primary winding provides an increased leakage inductance spike, which may be used by an ion sense system to (i) obtain increased bias voltages, and, (ii) increase the effective turns ratio, thereby reducing the amount of wire required for the secondary winding.
