Abstract
A gas ignition system for a gas cooking appliance is provided. The gas ignition system includes an ignition component operable to ignite gas based at least in part on an enable signal. The gas ignition system further includes an ignition sensor configured to provide a feedback signal indicative of a temperature of the ignition component. The gas ignition system further includes an ignition controller configured to provide the enable signal based at least in part on a plurality of feedback samples indicative of the feedback signal, each sample associated with one of a plurality of different times.
