Filed:

Jul 10, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/612729

Inventors:

Paul C. Staab - Carmel IN
Pankaj Mithal - Kokomo IN
Patrick A. Davis - Greentown IN
Stephen P. Barlow - Noblesville IN

Assignee:

Delphi Technologies, Inc. - Troy MI

International Classification:

H01L 2348

US Classification:

257693, 257690

Abstract:

An IC power package particularly suitable for use as a rectifier for an automotive ac generator, as well as an IC packaging method. The power package comprises an electrically-conductive base, a MOSFET die mounted to the base so that the drain region of the MOSFET is electrically connected to the base, an electrically-conductive pin mounted to the die and electrically connected to the source region of the MOSFET, and an electrically-conductive member electrically connected to the gate region of the MOSFET. The conductive member can take several forms, including a second pin or a leadframe mounted to the die, or an annular-shaped member mounted to the base by an electrically-insulative member. In the latter embodiment, the annular-shaped member may be electrically connected to the gate region with a bond wire. The die is preferably encapsulated on the base, so that the base, pin and conductive member provide three connections for a rugged IC package.

International Classification:

F02P 5/145
F02P 3/00
F02P 15/08
H01T 15/00

Abstract:

An ignition system for an internal combustion engine has a power source, a transformer having a first primary winding and a second primary winding and a secondary winding, a connector extending from the secondary winding so as to connect with a terminal of a spark plug, and a multi-strike circuit cooperative with the electronic spark timing circuit so as to fire the transformer with multiple strikes between the falling edge and the rising edge. A booster circuit is cooperative at the electronic spark timing circuit so as to collect and store energy from the power source while the electronic spark timing circuit fires the transformer. A delay circuit fires the transformer at a time subsequent to the falling edge and before the rising edge.

Assignee:

MARSHALL ELECTRIC CORP. - Rochester IN

International Classification:

F02P 3/08
F02P 5/15

Abstract:

A method of firing a spark plug of an internal combustion engine includes supplying AC power to the spark plug in which the AC power has a waveform with a rising edge and a falling edge, activating the spark plug during the rising edge of the waveform, and deactivating the spark plug during the falling edge of the waveform. This method further includes connecting an engine control module to an ignition coil and connecting the engine coil to the spark plug. The firing of the ignition coil mirrors the square waveform of AC power from the engine control module. A battery is connected to the engine control module.

Stephen P. BARLOW - Carmel IN, US

International Classification:

F02P 9/00
F02P 3/08

Abstract:

A method of firing at least one spark plug of an internal combustion engine include supplying AC power to the spark plug in which the AC power has a waveform with a rising edge and a falling edge, activating the spark plug during the rising edge of the waveform, and deactivating the spark plug during the falling edge of the waveform. This method further includes connecting an engine control module and a vehicle power supply to at least one AC ignition coil and connecting the AC ignition coil to the spark plug or spark plugs. The firing duration of the AC ignition coil or transformer mirrors a digital square waveform duration from the engine control module.

International Classification:

F02P 9/00
H01T 15/00
H01T 13/04
F02P 3/04
F02B 5/00

Abstract:

An ignition system for an internal combustion engine has a power source, a transformer having first and second primary windings and a secondary winding, a connector extending from the secondary winding and adapted so as to connect with a terminal of the spark plug of the internal combustion engine, and electronic spark timing circuit cooperative with the transformer so as to activate and deactivate voltage to the first and second primary windings. The first and second primary windings are connected to the power source such that the transformer produces an alternating voltage output from the secondary winding of between 1 kHz and 100 kHz and a voltage of at least 20 kV. A forced push-pull inverter is cooperative with the electronic spark timing circuit so as to fix a frequency of voltage to the first and second primary windings.
