  • Patent number: 7852051
    Abstract: A current-limiting circuit for limiting switch-on currents or transients includes a switch, a diode, an inductance, an input with a first connection and second connection, and an output with a first connection and second connection. The second connection of the input is connected via the switch to the junction of an inductance and the anode of a diode and via the inductance to the second connection of the output. The cathode of the diode is connected to the first connection of the input and to the first connection of the output. The switch is preferably an electronic switch controlled to provide clocked current limitation.

  • Patent number: 7495425
    Abstract: A buck converter is equipped with a switch, a diode, an inductance, a capacitor, an input with a first connection and second connection, and an output with a first connection and second connection. The first connection of the input is connected to the first connection of the output via a series circuit comprised of the switch and the inductance; in particular, the switch is provided on the input side and the inductance is provided on the output side. In addition, the cathode of the diode is connected to the connection between the switch and the inductance while the anode of the diode is connected to the second connection of the input and to the second connection of the output. The capacitor is connected in parallel with the connections of the output. It is possible to trigger the switch by combining a first signal with a second signal and a third signal corresponding to a control variable from the output of the buck converter may be used to adjust the output signal.

  • Patent number: 7152592
    Abstract: An ignition coil includes a primary coil carrying primary coil body, a low voltage connection area and a secondary coil inductively coupled with the primary coil for the provision of a high voltage for a spark plug of the combustion engine. The secondary coil is carried on a secondary coil body concentrically enclosed by the primary coil body. A high voltage connection area is provided, in which the secondary coil contacts the spark plug. The secondary coil body encloses a cylindrical, magnetic core, and primary coil body and secondary coil body are both surrounded by an electrically and magnetically conductive shell. The shell includes a longitudinal slit therethrough. The primary coil includes an uneven number of layers. A remote extending coil lead from the low voltage connection is led along the longitudinal slit of the shell. The coil lead runs at least partially within the outer perimeter of the shell.
