Abstract: An ignition device includes a secondary current control circuit that receives a secondary current control signal IGa from an ECU, and a feedback circuit outputs a control signal for controlling energization of an primary coil to an energy supply circuit according to a result of comparison of a control value of the secondary current outputted from the secondary current control circuit and a detected value of the secondary current. Further, the ECU outputs a secondary current control signal IGa in accordance with engine parameters. Thereby, the secondary current substantially indicating the amount of energy that is supplied into the ignition coil from the energy supply circuit can be controlled in accordance with the operating condition of the engine. Therefore, it is possible to suppress excess or shortage of energy supplied from the energy supply circuit to an ignition coil from occurring.

Abstract: In a control apparatus, a discharge control unit controls an igniter unit so that a flow of current from a primary coil towards a ground side is blocked, thereby generating a high voltage in a secondary coil, and controls a spark plug so that the spark plug generates electric discharge. An energy input control unit controls an energy input unit so as to input electrical energy to an ignition coil after the start of control of the spark plug by the discharge control unit. A control unit and an abnormality detecting unit detects an abnormality in the igniter unit or the ignition coil based on a first threshold and a first current value that is a value corresponding to a current detected by a current detection circuit at this time, when a first predetermined period elapses after the start of control of the spark plug by the discharge control unit.

Abstract: An ignition device for engine according to the present invention performs continuous spark discharge of an ignition plug by using a multiplex signal, an integration signal or a control signal. In the multiplex signal, discharge continuous signals IGW#1 to 4 for cylinders of the engine have been multiplexed. In the integration signal, a discharge continuous signal IGW and a secondary current instruction signal IGA have been added to an ignition signal IGT. In the control signal, the secondary current instruction signal IGA has been added into the multiplex signal or the integration signal. This structure can reduce the total number of signal lines connected between an ECU and a controller, and further reduce a signal line to transmit the secondary current instruction signal IGA.
