A solenoid driver control circuit for use with solenoids, the circuit including a current sense unit (12) for providing a current sense signal and a solenoid drive unit (13) for selectively allowing current to flow through the solenoid (11) from a power source (14). The circuit also includes a threshold comparator unit (17) for comparing threshold signals with the current sense signal and for providing an output signal that can control the solenoid drive unit (13), a minimum threshold unit (18) for providing a minimum threshold, a maximum threshold unit (19) for initially providing a maximum threshold until a peak current flow through the solenoid (11) has been established, a first timing unit (21) to periodically provide increased threshold signals for specified durations of time, and a second timing unit (41) for initially providing an increased minimum threshold signal at the outset of a control cycle. The device provides a minimum current flow through the solenoid (11) at all times during a control cycle and utilizes time control to realize the desired solenoid current waveform.
