Coil driver efficiency

Dec 17, 2004 5 Replies

I need to drive a 5K coil with a single or dual op amp.



Can anyone provide a brief summary of available design options ranging from most to least eficient, and the advantges of each in terms of current and voltage swing?



For example:



Driving to ground Dual drive Bridge Push/pull VCSS



... and so on. How do these and others compare?



Thank you,



Jeff


purpose ? (relay, electromagnet, transformer,.....)

Gees, JF, have the courtesy to blot out the spammer's referral number when you post the followup so that the spamming SOB can't get any benefit from your followup.

In all likelihood, it was an autoposting 'bot that did that, and the spammer will never read any followup. Duh.

Just as well... who needs \'botulism?
