You mean MSD?
in its simplest form, you replace points with an optical/hall effect sensor, MSD box takes signal from sensor and drives a big coil which gives you a fat spark. Electronic ignition in a fancy box and inflated price tag
-older MSD boxes are not much more than an over-engineered ignitors/CDIs
-some do multiple spark discharge up to X rpm
-newer boxes can do all manner of smart stuff (waste-spark, CoP, boost retard, etc) depending on model, cost and input sensors
-popular with the hi-po engines that use dizzi's
-can be used with non-factory ECUs to drive big coils & coil-packs for big spark
