Abstract

To permit connection of the input trigger stage to a wide variety of signal sources, such as different types of ignition systems (transistorized ignitions, coil-type ignitions, mechanical breaker system ignitions, and the like), a voltage divider is connected across the supply circuit, and the input signal is applied to a dual collector transistor forming the trigger or threshold stage, one collector of the transistor being connected to the output of the trigger stage and the other being connected to a protective circuit controlling bypassing of input signals of excessive voltage, or energy of either polarity and thus protecting the dual collector transistor.
