Abstract

See full text

In order to reduce AC ringing of the secondary voltage after the spark event in a capacitive ignition system, which would influence ion-sensing, a secondary winding current (IR) flowing through the secondary winding (4) after the spark event is forced to flow through a forward-biased muting diode (D1) that is connected across the secondary winding (4).
