摘要:
An apparatus for determining combustion condition of engine detects ion current flowing in a spark plug. The apparatus samples the ion current by carrying out A/D conversion at every constant time period. The apparatus stores a maximum value of A/D converted values as a peak hold value. The apparatus further detects and stores that the ion current traverses a reference voltage during the A/D conversion time period. The apparatus clears the peak hold value, if the ion current traverses the reference voltage. The apparatus determines the combustion condition based on the peak hold value which has not been cleared continuously over a predetermined number of times of the A/D conversion. It is possible to reduce influence of noise.
摘要:
A DMA control apparatus transfers a data set of bytes, with no intermixing these data bytes and with favorable efficiency. A DMA controller receives data bytes serially and writes this data to a RAM. At this time, when the serially sent data are taken to be made up of data sets where one information item is formed of two bytes, the DMA controller, while temporarily storing data received in odd-numbered order in a data-set adjusting register, controls block write of this together with data received in even-numbered order to the RAM. Due to this, access where data other than these data sets is intermixed is eliminated, even in a case where asynchronous word-unit access of the RAM is performed by the CPU.
