LINEAR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT
HALL EFFECT PICKUP
IGNITION CONTROLLER
DESCRIPTION
As an integrated electronic ignition controller for breakerless
ignition systems which uses Hall effect sensors, the UTC
UL497
drives an NPN external darlington to control the coil current
providing the required stored energy with low dissipation.
One of the UTC
UL497
special features is the programmable
time for the recovery of the correct dwell ratio Td/T while the coil
peak current fails to reach 94 % of the nominal value.
FEATURES
* Direct driving of the external power darlington
* Coil current charent charging angle control
* Programme coil current peak limitation
* When 94% nominal current not reached programmable dwell
recovery time
* RPM output
* Has peranent conduction protection
* Overvoltage protection
* Internal supply zener
* Reverse battery protection

DESCRIPTION
This pin must be connected to ground.
This pin must be connected to ground.
The input of supply voltage. Its voltage will be limited by an 7.5V zener. The
R5 inside will limit the current by the zener for high supply voltege.
Connected to ground or left open.
The input of the hall-effect pickup signal. This input is dwell control circuit
output to enable the current driving into the coil.
As a open collector output, it’s at low level when current flows in the ignition
coil. It should be connected pin7 zener for high volteges protection. Then R

limits pin 6 current if RPM module
pad is accidentally connected to V

A 21V Zener whose current must be limited by an internal resistor.
A capacitor connected between this pin and ground sets the slope of the
dwell time variation as it rises from zero to the correct value. It occurs just
