Traditional ignition systems when used to enhance internal combustion engine (ICE) efficiency and lower emissions are handicapped with high energy consumption and poor durability leading to an unattractive cost of ownership. For advanced ignition systems to be adopted, cost, size and lower energy consumption are critical.
