Trinamic – Solenoid Driver

Monolithic solenoid driver ICs are designed to make the control of valves and solenoid actuators more accurate and energy efficient. Although driving solenoids can be as simple as switching the current flow on and off, ADI Trinamic solenoid driver ICs offer proprietary diagnostic functions and automatic current reduction.

Real-Time Feedback and Control
Under common conditions, the position of a stepper motor is deterministic and predictable, but what about when the motor does not behave as expected? Many devices demand real-world, real-time feedback from the motor for added safety and monitoring purposes. Closed-loop operation of motors can furthermore increase the efficiency and overall performance of your application, for example by reducing the current when the motor is on standby and increasing the current under load conditions. As such, closed-loop control increases the system’s control reliability and flexibility.
