Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0895264A1] A current control for an inductive load (10) includes a switch device (11) and a sensor (12) in series with the load. A voltage comparator (15) is connected to operate when the current in the load reaches a desired average value. A digital control (18) measures the time taken for the current to reach this value and maintains the switch device conductive for a further period based on this measured time. Accurate average current control is obtained even if it is not possible to measure the load current when the switch device is non-conductive. <IMAGE>
