Abstract: An improvement in the electrical circuitry of ignition systems for internal combustion engines wherein a new ignition pulse is provided from the surge voltage developed in the ignition coil of the ignition system. The new ignition pulse output signal is gated to provide for a single unit unidirectional impulse of the required polarity followed by an extended quiescent interval without sustaining voltages. Voltage regulation and stabilization is included for consistent outputs in the full range of the operating revolutions of the engine as well as an indicating monitor for indicating the system performance and existence of ignition voltage in the circuit.
