Abstract

A device for controlling an injection valve actuator for an internal combustion engine has a voltage source, the voltage of which is high compared to the voltage of a vehicle battery and which is connected to the actuator by way of at least one controllable switch. A switching controller can be connected to the vehicle battery at the input end and it is connected to the voltage source at the output end to generate the high voltage from the voltage of the vehicle battery. The switching controller is designed in such a way that the high voltage of the voltage source is regulated to a higher value as the temperature increases.
