An improved turbine engine ignition exciter circuit. Energy stored in an exciter tank capacitor is subsequently switched to the load (igniter plug) through a semiconductor thyristor switching device and a pulse forming network. The switching device is periodically activated by a trigger circuit which may be comprised of either electromagnetic or optoelectronic triggering circuitry to initiate discharge of energy stored in the exciter tank capacitor to the igniter plug. In exemplary embodiments, the exciter circuit also includes: a feedback network which causes trigger circuit and DC-DC converter circuit to compensate for varying igniter plug wear and dynamic engine combustor conditions; circuitry for taking the exciter circuit out of normal mode operation when a low input voltage is detected; and circuitry for selectively disabling the DC-DC converter based on a control signal from an outside source.
