A method is proposed for operating an electromagnetic load device with a movable armature, especially an injection valve of an internal combustion engine. The load device is supplied, at the beginning of trigger pulse, with a high amperage current and, at least toward the end of the pulse, with a reduced current. This method is characterized in that, starting with a certain amperage, at which preferably the armature is set into motion but has not as yet reached its final position, the current rise is at least reduced. The apparatus aspect comprises a measuring element and switching element connected in series with the load device. A threshold switch is associated with the measuring element to control the switching element. The switching thresholds of the threshold switch can be controlled in dependence on current and/or on time. The first current threshold is at a value at which the armature of the load is preferably being moved, but has not yet reached its final position. The method and the apparatus achieve a low power operation of the load device with a coincidence factor between the trigger pulse signal and, for example, the switching characteristic of an injection valve. It is essential that the current flow, after the starting current, no longer continue to rise in the same way but rather, if possible, is already somewhat reduced and, after the armature of the load has been attracted, a holding current is established as a function current and/or time. With a view toward a clear cut-out characteristic, a short term current supply to the load is advantageous at the end of the actual trigger pulse signal.

A main semiconductor element is placed on a circuit chip; additionally, a compensating semiconductor element is placed thereon, the compensating semiconductor element being a diode, a substrate diode, a Schottky diode, a transistor with shortcircuited base emitter junction, open base transistor, or a resistor, the additional semiconductor element having one terminal connected to the main semiconductor and the other terminal either to the substrate or to a source of potential at least as large as the potential of the main element. The leakage current to be bypassed may affect the main element directly, particularly when the main element is operated in digital on-off mode, or indirectly by passing a compensating current which affects another element such as an operational amplifier, or provides directly for additional current compensating for leakage current of the main element. Placing the additional element on the same substrate and making the element of approximately the same surface extent provides for comparable passage of compensating leakage current over a wide range of semiconductor crystal temperatures.

A voltage regulator of the type suitable for production as a monolithic integrated circuit for use with a separate reference voltage source is composed of a differential amplifier having a so-called current mirror circuit coupling its outputs, followed by a current amplifying circuit from the output of which a feedback voltage obtained from a resistive divider is brought back to one input of the differential amplifier, the other input thereof being for connection to the reference voltage source. Stabilization of the regulator is obtained by connecting a small capacitance, of a magnitude suitable for provision as an element of a monolithic integrated circuit, between one of the poles of the supply voltage and the point of connection between the differential amplifier and the current amplifier circuit. The differential amplifier has a current source between common emitter connection and ground. The stability condition is worked out showing that the sum current of the differential amplifier must be unusually small. When a multi-transistor current amplifier is used, a second small capacitance is connected in to improve performance. The capacitances may be base-collector diodes, base-emitter diodes, MOS elements, or the like.

A fuel mixture control apparatus for an electronic fuel injection system for internal combustion engines. In a warm-up controller, the fuel injection control pulses are lengthened for enrichment of the fuel-air mixture during engine warm-up on the basis of signals supplied by a temperature transducer. In order to make the warm-up enrichment dependent on prevailing engine states, for example on the conditions of idling and partial or full load, circuitry is provided to sense these conditions and to suitably alter the enrichment factor. A further circuit suppresses the dependence or enrichment on engine status during engine starting. Various embodiments are presented.

A controlled main switch, typically a semiconductor switch, is connected in parallel to the load. In accordance with the invention, an auxiliary switch, typically also a semiconductor switch such as a switching transistor is directly connected across the terminals of the load, and with an impedance, for example a resistance, diode, or Zener diode to the main switch, and controlled to switch in synchronism with the main switch, so that the residual voltage across the load due to inherent voltage drop across the terminals of the switch becomes a minimum. Integrated technology may be used, combining preamplifiers and distribution networks in one monolithic chip.

To permit evaluation of only slowly changing low amplitude undulating signals, derived for example from a wheel-speed transducer of a brake anti-block system, and to obtain essentially square-wave output voltage signals having a 1:1 pulse to pulse gap ratio for further signal processing, a temperature stable threshold switch is provided by connecting transistors forming a difference amplifier and purposely mismatched to the input, the mismatch of the transistors defining the threshold level, and being obtained by mismatch in the output circuit thereof, preferably and for example by using pnp lateral transistors having multiple collectors in which the ratio of length of the partial collectors is other than 1:1, and connected, preferably, to a current mirror which has its output connected to the partial collector of the other of the pnp lateral transistors. The circuit can be further expanded by connection of the output to a flipflop to provide a true square-wave output, and may be made independent of input connection by providing input transistor circuitry, preferably in form of an emitter-follower. Rather than forming partial collectors of the lateral transistors of unequal ratio, the transistors forming the current mirror may be constructed to have different emitter surfaces; or both partial unequal collectors, or equivalents, and current mirror emitters or equivalents, can be used.
摘要:
The current flowing through a reference resistor constitutes the temperature independent output voltage. This current consists of the sum of a first and second current. The first current is a current which is proportional to absolute temperature and has an amplitude which depends on the value of the first resistor. The second current is proportional to the base-emitter voltage of a transistor and its amplitude depends on the value of the second resistor. The values of the first and second resistor are fixed so that the temperature coefficient of the current flowing through the reference resistor is zero. Specifically, one end of the reference resistor is connected to one side of the operating voltage source while the other side is connected through a series circuit including the emitter-collector circuit of the first transistor and the first resistor to ground potential. A second circuit is connected in parallel with the first circuit. The second circuit consists of the emitter-collector circuit of a second transistor and the second resistor. A semiconductor voltage divider has a first and second tap connected to the base of the first and second transistor, respectively. A constant current is supplied to the voltage divider, either by a constant current source or by a circuit mirroring the current flow through the reference resistor. The values of the first and second resistor are fixed so that the temperature coefficient of the current flowing through the reference resistor is zero.
