This paper describes the application of an electronic spark control (ESC) technique in use by Ford of Europe in its campaign to improve automotive fuel economy. It illustrates how a CMOS Digital Ignition Controller, Constant Energy Thick Film Integrated Circuit, Power Darlington, discrete component interface and Piezoresistive Pressure Sensor technologies can be combined within a single ESC module for harsh environment installation within the engine compartment. The system developed for a 1983 MY introduction demonstrates that electronic spark control alone can improve engine characteristics sufficiently to enable significant increases in powertrain gearing to be made, thereby producing fuel economy benefits.
