Abstract

In an ignition device, at a timing of a control signal provided by a control device to control an ignition coil device or at a timing prior to the control signal in order that a high voltage is applied to an ignition plug to initiate a spark discharge, a control circuit of an AC power source unit in response to the control signal controls switching elements composing a bridge circuit in the AC power source unit for a DC-AC inversion to thereby short-circuit a winding of a transformer device on the side of the AC power source unit, connected between a boosting device including a capacitor device and the bridge circuit for the circulation of a capacitance discharging current from the boosting device to the transformer device.
