  • Patent number: 11181067
    Abstract: An injection control device includes: a fuel injection quantity command value output unit that outputs a command value for a fuel injection quantity of a fuel injection valve; and a controller that executes current control on the fuel injection valve. The controller executes current area correction by calculating an area correction amount for an energization time to cause an integrated current value of an energization current profile and the integrated current value of a current to be equal to each other. Correction control of the current area correction is changed based on a detection signal of a cooling water temperature of an internal combustion engine.

  • Patent number: 10404237
    Abstract: An adder adds a noise signal, an input signal, and a feedback signal. A threshold determination unit compares an addition signal output from the adder with a predetermined threshold, and outputs an ignition pulse signal. A transient response unit causes transient response of the ignition pulse signal, and generates an output signal. An intensity adjustment unit is formed of a variable resistor provided on a feedback loop, adjusts intensity of the feedback signal, and inputs the feedback signal to the adder.
