specifications.
OPERATION
DIGITAL OPERATION
The MSD Programmable Digital-7 Plus uses a high speed RISC microcontroller to control the ignition’s output
while constantly analyzing the various inputs such as supply voltage, trigger signals and rpm. The high speed
controller can make extremely quick compensations to the output voltage, multiple spark series, timing and rpm
limits while maintaining accurate timing signals to within +/- 0.1° and +/- 10 rpm. The circuits and controller of
the ignition have been thoroughly debounced and suppressed to create protection against Electro Magnetic
Interference (EMI).
CAPACITIVE DISCHARGE
The MSD features a capacitive discharge ignition design. The majority of stock ignition systems are inductive ignitions.
In an inductive ignition, the coil must store energy and step up the supplied voltage to maximum strength between
each firing. At higher rpm, since there is less time to charge the coil to full capacity, the secondary voltage falls short
of reaching its maximum energy level which results in a loss of power or top end miss.
The MSD Ignition features a capacitor which is quickly charged to 520 - 535 volts and stores its energy until the
ignition is triggered. With the CD design, the energy sent to the coil is always at maximum power even at high rpm.
