Multiple actuator control circuit

摘要

An energy efficient multiple actuator control circuit is disclosed comprising a timing-slicing circuit for arranging and processing a pulsed select signal into a plurality of staggered pulse signals and a steering logic circuit for receiving the pulse signals and generating corresponding actuator enable signals. Latching solenoid actuators are arranged into position upon receipt of the pulsed actuator enable signals. The actuators maintain their position without any additional power. The circuitry is hardwired in that for a given select signal each actuator is activated into a predetermined position. The circuitry is scalable to arrange any plurality of actuators in any prearranged configuration, and the circuitry can perform properly over a broad variation of select signals.
