Abstract

An electronic ignition pulse generator for internal combustion engines comprising an angle-of-rotation pulse giver feeding a succession of angle pulses and a cycle signal to an ignition point computer and featuring a novel adjustment pulse generator with a binary counter controlled by the cycle signal, by a pressure transducer, voltage comparator and RS flip-flop gate, to count angle pulses, until the count corresponds to the pressure level in the engine intake duct, thereby producing a pressure-reflective adjustment count for the computer. A throttle switch at the carburetor blocks the counter during closed-throttle operation.
