I am not aware of such system.
Do you have an example of that setup?

I have never heard of such a thing either. I’d like to hear more about this.

A standard coil on plug is this type, 12V is applied all the time, there is a separate trigger pin. Search coil on plug and you'll see these types.

that's a standard ignition coil, the lowside igbt is just moved from the ECU to the coil
SteveyG:
General definition would be the "standard ignition coil" as the large cylinder type which would feed the distributor, not a COP type.
Looks like there are various COP configurations though. I think only the 3 pin coils are the type with just a transistor inside.
