  • Patent number: 6766789
    Abstract: An injector driving control apparatus operates with minimum power consumption, while ensuring linearity (proportionality between the current supply duration and fuel injection volume of the injector) in a wide fuel pressure range. A coil current feedback circuit is provided for controlling the current feedback duration according to the fuel pressure after applying the current at a boost voltage. This enables optimal control of the injector, and, hence, an improvement in the fuel injection volume characteristics (linearity) and a reduction in the heat generated in the injector driving control circuits.
