Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") has launched “TB67S112PG,” a dual-channel solenoid driver IC that achieves high-voltage and low ON resistance drive. Mass production starts ...

Solenoid loads generally exhibitlarge hysteresis. Application ofthe rated voltage actuates these loads.Once they are in position, however, youcan use a significantly lower voltage tothereafter ...

The proportional-control solenoids used in some industrial hydraulic systems are usually driven by microcontrollers or programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Such complex drivers typically require ...

The Series D5400 micro-solenoid driver connector can improve performance and reduce heat buildup in solenoid valve operators. The connector induces faster solenoid pull-in with a high input voltage, ...

Several years ago, Paul Rako, in collaboration with the late, great Bob Pease, wrote a terrific article about the finer theoretical and practical points of electromagnetic solenoid-driver circuits. 1 ...

Solenoids are used in many applications to provide linear or rotational actuation in mechanical systems. Although driving solenoids can be as simple as switching the current flow on and off, ...

The D5400 microsolenoid driver (MSD) reduces heat buildup in solenoid-valve operators. The MSD induces faster pull-in with a high input voltage and then automatically reduces voltage during hold-in.

No circuit is so trivial that it’s not worth thinking hard about. [Charles Wilkinson] wanted to drive a solenoid air valve that will stay open for long periods of time. This means reducing the holding ...

Toshiba Electronics Europe has launched a dual-channel solenoid driver IC that provides a high-voltage drive with low ON resistance. The TB67S112PG driver IC is suited to a wide variety of ...
