Abstract
A speed-dependent ignition controller and method utilizes a sensor output signal to provide spark occurrence and dwell initiation at retard and advance angles for an internal combustion engine. The sensor signal has a pulse width proportional to the difference between a desired ignition advance and retard angle. At low rpm, the sensor signal is inverted to produce a retarded ignition angle while at high rpm's the signal is utilized without inversion to produce an advance ignition angle.
