Abstract
An ignition coil control circuit for controlling a current flowing to a primary coil of an ignition coil, comprises a switching circuit for switching the primary coil of the ignition coil, a driving circuit for driving the switching circuit, a control signal output circuit for generating and outputting a driving control signal to the driving circuit in accordance with a signal from an ECU, and a current limiting circuit for detecting a value of the current fed to the primary coil by the switching circuit and controlling the switching circuit to make the current value not larger than a predetermined value and wherein the control signal output circuit uses the signal from the ECU as its power source, and the current limiting circuit uses a switching driving signal output from the driving circuit for driving the switching circuit as its power source.
