Abstract: An electronic ignition system for an internal combustion engine. The system includes an ignition coil provided with a primary winding and a secondary winding, a switch that is connected to the primary winding and that is drivable to an open and/or closed position according to a value of a driving signal. A control unit is configured to drive the switch to the open and/or closed position based on the driving signal. A voltage changing electronic element is operatively interposed between an electrical connection and the primary winding and is configured to change the voltage value of the primary winding between at least a first and a second voltage value. The control unit is configured to generate the control signal and send the control signal to having the first value to the changing electronic element at least during a first charging interval of the primary winding.
