Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To compact an ignition device and to reduce cost. SOLUTION: The output voltage of a DC-DC converter to charge a capacity for ignition is monitored by a voltage monitoring circuit and when the output voltage exceeds a preset charge voltage set value, charging is stopped. The charge voltage setting value is set to a charge voltage set value V3 exceeding a demand charge voltage based on demand charge capacity by engine characteristics, and being a highest charge voltage set value V1 at a low rotation, area, a charge voltage set value V2 lower by one stage at a middle rotation area, and a charge voltage set value V3 lower by one more stage. This constitution eliminates unnecessary charge on the high rotation side, promotes reduction of the size of a charge circuit by decfeasing feed capacity at a high rotation area, and promotes cost reduction of a device.
