After an injector current for opening a fuel injector is fed thereto, energization on the fuel injector is stopped to reduce the injector current towards a holding current level for keeping the fuel injector at an open state, a flywheel circuit being inoperative. Before a closed loop for controlling the injector current at the holding current level is formed, the flywheel circuit is made operative, whereby an influence of the operational delay of a circuit forming the closed loop can be reduced and further the injector current can be swiftly transferred to the holding current level before it falls largely.

Fuel injection control system for automobile engine

A current flowing to a fuel injector is completely cut off when an injection pulse signal is OFF at a timing to stop conduction of the fuel injector to reliability close the fuel injector, and when an injection pulse signal is OFF at a timing to stop conduction of an injector, an output transistor of a comparator is on to forcibly set a base potential of a switching transistor to a low level so as to completely cut off the switching transistor. At this time, a control signal output of an AND gate becomes a logic '0', but an actual signal voltage does not become completely '0', but even when a comparator is erroneously operated, the switching transistor is completely cut off by the comparator, and hence no current flows to the injector, and a small current continuously does not flow to the injector to prevent a valve closing force from being weakened.

A multilevel frequency-shift keying (FSK) modulator is disclosed in which the transient response for frequency transition can be easily set. The modulator is of a type in which a frequency generated by a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) is changed in accordance with multilevel code and is phase-locked by a phase-locked loop (PLL). The modulator is provided with a phase-lock feedback circuit that, combined with a VCO, makes up a PLL, and includes first and second VCOs and a filter having a desired transient response characteristic. At a transient time of frequency transition due to a change of the multilevel code, the first VCO and feedback circuit makes up the PLL, and a first control voltage for the first VCO produced in the PLL is inputted as a second control voltage to the second VCO through the filter. Accordingly, the FSK signal delivered from the second VCO has a transient response characteristic depending on the characteristic of the filter, and as a result, the transient response characteristic of the FSK modulator can be set to a desired characteristic by modifying the characteristic of the filter without changing the other circuit parameters.
