The detection of the switching state of a stop switch at a switch terminal of an ignition device for an internal combustion engine is provided, in which an ignition pulse for controlling an electronic ignition switch is generated and a first power storage device is discharged via an ignition coil and during this discharge a voltage signal having negative and positive voltage half waves is generated, which is used for synchronizing a sampling, representing the switch state of the stop switch, particularly its closed position, of a voltage value at the switch terminal.

Ignition method for an internal combustion engine and an ignition device operated accordingly

A first voltage signal and a second voltage signal each with positive and negative half waves are generated for rotation direction detection during the operation of an ignition device for an internal combustion engine by a rotating magnet wheel in at least two coil arrangements, which are arranged on adjacent core legs of an iron core, whereby the rotation direction of the magnet wheel is determined from a time offset or angular offset of at least one half wave of the first voltage signal relative to a half wave of the second voltage signal.
