V12 wasted spark cop possible?

Post by ChristianK »

Hello,

I want to build a V12 with the X-Board. Does it work, if I took one spark output at the X board, to fire up two of the vag/VW/audi tfsi cop's?
Or is it to much power for the spark output? At the HB541 datasheet they wrote, that max. 8mA would work.

But how many mA need the cop's to work without issues?

Thanks!

"Watt iss denn hej loss? :mrgreen: "

I have no clue what that means...

I also no nothing about VAG coils, except that more info is probably needed. Some VAG coils need external drivers, some don't.

This was northrhine-westfalien slang. I thaught it may helps. :mrgreen:
It means something like these: "what is going on here?"

The coils have driver inside. The work at the Xboard without issues. But I didn't found a datasheet anywhere in the net.

They called Beru ZSE32 or vag 06E 905 115 E

If they work ok, then you've answered your question. I have generally assumed that the 4 wire VAG COPs will require an external "booster" to be sure.

This cop are logic coils. I thaught, they work without any 'booster' directly fired from the x board!?

One coil at one x output work fine. I doesn't test two coils at one port.

So, logic coils need a booster? What is this? Tc4427 ? The tc4427 works definitely with two coils at one channel. I've wired some ms2 with the tc4427.
