METHOD AND CIRCUIT ARRANGEMENT FOR ACTIVATING THE DRIVING STAGES OF THE FUNCTIONS OF MOTOR VEHICLE COMBUSTION ENGINES, ESPECIALLY FOR FUEL INJECTION OR IGNITION

In a method for the driving of driver stages for operations of automotive internal combustion engines, for instance for fuel injection, including the use of timer-controlled output signals of a microcontroller for the cylinder-selective driving and for the presetting of operational start and operational stop of the driving in order to achieve as simple as possible driving, which can be adapted without problems to engines with different numbers of cylinders it is provided that with the one edge of the output signals of a first microcontroller a first address counter for operational start addresses is driven and that an output memory is addressed by it, wherein with the other edge of the output signals the output memory is changed to a state of "operational start", and that with the one edge of the output signals of a second microcontroller output a second address counter for operational transmitting addresses is driven and an operational memory is addressed by it, wherein with the other edge of the output signals the output memory is changed to a state of "operational end". The present invention relates to circuitry wherein to each otuput of a microcontroller is subordinated an address counter to the address counters and the outputs of the microcontroller are subordinated an output memory, and between the output memory and the inputs of the address counter selectively activatable overflow lines are provided.
