发明名称 Method and circuit for controlling current in an inductive load
摘要 A control or adjusting circuit for a load, a desired signal is compared to an actual signal corresponding to the state of the load, and a PWM control signal is generated in a control signal generating circuit in accordance with the comparison result. The control signal opens and closes a current switch coupled to the load. For forming the PWM control signal, the contents of a ramp counter are compared to the contents of an up/down counter by means of a digital comparator. To obtain fast approximation of the two signals to each other in the case of strong deviations between the desired signal and the actual signal, the up/down counter is subjected to relatively rapid counting in case of high control deviations as compared to low control deviations. To this end, the up/down counter is operated with a clock signal of variable frequency that is produced by a voltage-controlled oscillator as a function of the difference between the desired signal and the actual signal.
