High Performance Solenoid Drivers ( redux )

Motor Drivers/Sensors

In my previous question High-Performance Solenoid Drivers the MPQ-6615 was recommended as a higher current alternative to the MPQ-6610 used in the article High-Performance Solenoid Drivers | Article | MPS. Looking at the 6615 I see that it does not have an Iset pin. How would I get an equivalent peak/hold function using the 6615?

Hi @john2 ,

For the MPQ6615, you must sense current using SOA/SOB externally with a microcontroller. You can then drive the solenoid accordingly using the input logic specified in the datasheet to achieve peak/hold functionality:
