Abstract
An electronic control for an internal combustion engine, and for precisely controlling the instant at which the ignition sparks are emitted. It is fitted with an electronic contact breaker and with sensors for measuring physical parameters characteristic of the conditions under which the engine is operating. This control comprises two channels whose operation is mutually exclusive, namely a first channel which operates when the engine is started and is idling, and a second channel which operates when the engine is running at high speed and under load. The control is applicable to electronic ignition systems for internal combustion engines with controlled emission.
