    Abstract: An igniter includes a switch element and a switch control apparatus. An ignition signal IGT is input to an input line of the switch control apparatus. A high-frequency filter removes high-frequency noise from the input line. A voltage comparator compares an output voltage VFIL of the high-frequency filter with a reference voltage VREF, so as to generate a judgment signal SDET. A driving stage controls an on/off switching operation of the switch element according to the judgment signal SDET. An off-state dead-time circuit prohibits the switch element from turning off during a predetermined dead time after the judgment signal SDET transits to a negated level that corresponds to the off state of the switch element.

    Abstract: An igniter that includes switch element and switch control device for controlling the switch element depending on ignition signal. The switch control device includes a determination stage that compares voltage associated with the ignition signal with a predetermined voltage to generate a determination signal, a driving stage that controls ON/OFF operations of the switch element depending on the determination signal, a timer circuit that asserts a conduction protection signal when state where the determination signal becomes an assert level corresponding to an ON operation of the switch element continues for predetermined time, a time-varying voltage generating circuit that generates time-varying voltage over time in response to the assertion of the conduction protection signal, and an amplifier that changes the voltage of a control terminal of the switch element such that detection voltage associated with coil current flowing in the switch element is close to the time-varying voltage.
