TIDA-00284 proposes to integrate current control and plunger movement detection into an AC solenoid coil. This reference design provides a solution to control the solenoid current using a PWM-based controller along with a Hall sensor to detect plunger movement and switch from peak current to hold current mode Various applications in the field of industrial automation and material processing will benefit from up-to 70% reduced power consumption, accelerated process time, greatly simplified usage and enhanced monitoring capabilities.
A fully assembled board has been developed for testing and performance validation only, and is not available for sale.
