  • Patent number: 6735069
    Abstract: A solenoid driver circuit includes an idling control portion for applying a very low voltage less than an activation threshold value to a solenoid from a switching circuit; a computing portion for computing the resistance value of the solenoid with the current value flowing through the solenoid and the applied voltage; and a constant-current control portion for maintaining the current flowing through the solenoid constant regardless of the temperature of the winding of the solenoid by controlling the output voltage from the switching circuit according to the resistance value. When the solenoid is activated, the supplied current is controlled constant irrespective of the temperature of the winding of the solenoid.

  • Patent number: 6714399
    Abstract: When a solenoid drive current I is controlled toward a certain target current value IT, overshoot and undershoot relative to the target current value are repeated such that the current settles down to the target current value. The solenoid drive current is so controlled as to settle down to the target current value after the current is swung up and down. As a result, the attracting force settles down to the midway point of the variation between the attracting force characteristics in the current-increasing direction and the current-reducing direction, respectively, of the solenoid actuator. The hysteresis characteristics can be canceled out.
