    Abstract: An electronic device for controlling an ignition coil of an internal combustion engine includes a high voltage switch, a driving unit and a control unit. The driving unit controls the closure of the switch during charging energy in the primary winding and the opening of the switch during transferring energy from the primary winding to a secondary winding. A current measuring circuit is connected in series to a second terminal of the secondary winding to detect current generated on the secondary winding during the charging step and generate a signal representative of the detected current. The control unit receives the signal representative of the current detected by the measuring circuit, compares a relevant value of such signal with a predefined first reference value and activates a mode for detecting a soiling of the spark plug when the relevant value of the signal exceeds said predefined first reference value.

    Abstract: An electronic ignition system for an internal combustion engine. The system includes an ignition coil provided with a primary winding and a secondary winding, a switch that is connected to the primary winding and that is drivable to an open and/or closed position according to a value of a driving signal. A control unit is configured to drive the switch to the open and/or closed position based on the driving signal. A voltage changing electronic element is operatively interposed between an electrical connection and the primary winding and is configured to change the voltage value of the primary winding between at least a first and a second voltage value. The control unit is configured to generate the control signal and send the control signal to having the first value to the changing electronic element at least during a first charging interval of the primary winding.
