Inductive ignition system for internal combustion engines

The ignition system for internal combustion engines comprises a rotor (10) and an armature (15) provided with an ignition coil (16,17) in which voltage signals, each having pulses (a,b,c,d) of opposite polarities are cyclically induced during each revolution of the rotor (10); a control unit for the ignition current comprises a current-control switch (Q1) which can be triggered during a positive pulse of the voltage signals, to cut off the current in the primary winding (16) and generate a high voltage on the secondary winding (17) of the ignition coil. A second control switch (Q3) has the control electrode connected both to a current-control resistor (R11) in series with the current-control switch (Q1), and to the outlet of a voltage comparator (U1) connected to a timing circuit (C2,Q2,C3) enabling the sparking within a pre-established time interval, during a positive pulse of each voltage signal, preventing the sparking when the engine is running below a minimum rotational speed, during the forward rotation and at the reverse rotation of the same engine.
