摘要:
A device for driving a rotary solenoid in which the two transistors on one side of an H-bridge circuit that drives the rotary solenoid are not simultaneously rendered conductive in order to prevent the burning. An instruction signal from the CPU is made up of a first instruction signal which instructs the rotation in either the forward direction or the reverse direction and a second instruction signal which instructs either the rotation or the holding. Depending upon the combinations of the first and second instruction signals, the output of the logic circuit renders the first to fourth transistors of the H-bridge circuit conductive or non-conductive.

A bi-directional driver system for an electrical load operable in response to two independent logic command signals provides a means for selecting the direction of current flow in the load when driven by the external command. A bridge circuit employs inputs to dual transistor switches operating in the saturated mode in series with the electrical load, cooperating with common emitter transistor linear amplifiers and diodes, and biased by the input logic signal so as to drive the load current in a predetermined direction. The circuit provides protection from undesired power supply current surges when logic command signals are applied to both inputs, and from transients due to failure of a saturated transistor switch at one input to cease conducting before the application of a command signal to the second input. Embodiments for inductive loads and annunciator lamps are described.

A switching current supply circuit, in response to a control voltage, controls the current flowing in an inductive load. Included is a pair of terminals adapted for connection to such a load and a bridge network connected to the terminals for producing a voltage indicative of the current flowing through the load. A comparator switches an output voltage between two distinct values in response to a differential input voltage having components derived, at least in part from the control voltage and the load-current-indicating voltage. Finally, a polarity-changeable voltage source, in response to the output voltage, applies, selectively and reversibly, known voltages of opposite polarity through the bridge network to the load-connectable terminals. These known voltages effect a change in load current level appropriate to decrease the absolute value of the above-mentioned input voltage. Optionally, this circuit also includes an adjustable hysteresis circuit connected to the comparator for delaying switching therein by a known period of time. The circuit may also be constructed to minimize common mode voltage.

The circuit and structure of a high voltage switch with latchup is disclosed for a latching driver used in a gas panel display. The driver circuit functions as a high voltage, single pole, double throw switch with memory. A plurality of the latching driver circuits may be integrated on an LSI chip. Each position lighted on a gas panel display requires two latching driver circuits which are operated in a complementary fashion by suitable logic. The latching driver circuit is comprised of a complementary transistor, high voltage output switch which is controlled by a positive feedback silicon controlled switch which serves as the latching mechanism. The structure of the latching driver is of an advanced integrated design employing a plurality of lateral complementary transistors in two isolation regions.

A high gain amplifier and feedback arrangement utilizing a class B power stage for current driving a single coil wherein the precession coil of a spinning magnet gyroscope is controlled by sending a precise current through the coil. A first operational amplifier with differential input terminals generates either a positive or negative output. A positive output drives one side of the class B output stage to control current flow in one direction through the load. A negative output drives the other side of the class B output stage by way of a second operational amplifier connected as an inverter to control current in the inverse direction through the load. The load current is arranged to provide feedback to the first operational amplifier so that the load current is a replica of the input for both directions of current flow in the load. An output stage switching transistor is conducting or cut off when the corresponding class B stage side conducts or is cut off. The two output stage switching transistors are controlled from a switching differential pair of transistors which in turn is controlled by the output of the first operational amplifier. Switching of all switching transistors and circuits occurs when the input signal passes through zero at which time the load current is zero.

A write driver 100, 200, 300 is implemented to provide near-ground common mode output voltages to produce a more symmetrical head voltage swing (i.e. ±0.4V from ground to ±5V supply voltages). These features help to reduce the effects of common mode impedance associated with the interconnection to the disk drive head to improve overall performance. Lower jitter at high data rates can be achieved when compared to prior art techniques for implementing current mode write drivers. Further, the matched impedance between the write driver 100 and the interconnection 106 eliminates unwanted reflections. ECL level voltage swings (200–500 mV) have replaced more conventional CMOS level voltage swings (5V) to further reduce overall power dissipation associated with the write driver. The small ECL level switching further maintains constant power dissipation with changes in operating frequency and results in less NTLS effects due to quieter supplies.
