DESCRIP T IO N
The L482 is an integratedcircuit designed foruse
with an NPN darlington in breakerlessignition systemswithhall-effectpickupsensorsandhighenergy ignitioncoils.
It controls the energy stored in the ignition coil and
the desaturation time of the external darlingtonto
limit the power dissipation.

A low level on this output signal indicates when the external darlington is in
the ON condition i.e. when the current flows through the coil (ton in fig.1)
into the coil. The effective coil charge will be a function of the dwell control
logic. A High to Low transition from the Hall-effect pickup is the signal for
ignition actuation. The input signal, supplied by the open collector output
stage of the Hall-effect sensor, has a duty cycle typically about 70%.

The device is protected against the load dump. In load dump condition an
internal circuit, based on a zener diode and a darlington transistor,
switches off the external darlington and short circuits the supply.
