    Abstract: According to an ignition device, a first switching unit applies a voltage between electrodes of by spark plug by turning on/off energization from an on-vehicle battery to a primary coil. Further, a second switching unit applies a voltage having the same direction as a spark discharge generated by turning on/off the first switching unit between the electrodes of the spark plug by supplying electrical energy accumulated in a booster circuit into a primary coil. Accordingly, it is possible to greatly reduce a complexity of the on/off switching of the first and second switching units compared to a conventional technology.

    Abstract: An ignition device includes an ignition coil with a primary coil and a secondary coil, a spark plug with center and ground electrodes for discharge therebetween, and a voltage limiting circuit. The voltage limiting circuit limits voltage applied between the electrodes of the spark plug such that the voltage has an absolute value limited within a predetermined voltage limiting value. The voltage limiting value is differentiated from each other in first and second stages. The first stage is defined as a period in which an initial discharge peak ends, the initial discharge peak being initially generated by electric energy. The second stage is defined as a period after the end of the initial discharge peak. The voltage limiting value in the first stage is lower than the voltage limiting value in the second stage.
