Abstract:
A fuel injection control system for an internal combustion engine includes a plurality of first energy storage elements each for supplying a high voltage to a fuel injection solenoid valve, boosting circuits each for boosting a battery voltage and electrically charging one of the first energy storage elements, a second energy storage element for accumulating electrical energy of the battery voltage, and a switching circuit for transferring the electrical energy between the plurality of first energy storage elements via the second energy storage element. This configuration enables the fuel injection control system for an internal combustion engine to implement stabilized supply of a fuel by obtaining within a short time the high voltage needed to operate the fuel injector both accurately and reliably, and to contribute to cost reduction by, for example, alleviating capability requirements and part performance requirements of the individual boosting circuits.
