DRV110: suggest any uController (SW) to Configure Peak,Hold Currents and pick up time instead of DRV110APWR

Hello Abdul,

DRV110 is a power saving solenoid current controller, which allows hold current to be set using external passive components. Could you offer additional information to your desired application so that I can provide best recommendation?

Might I suggest this application note as a starting point for solenoid current control:

Current Controlled Driver for AC Solenoids (Rev. A) (ti.com)

Thanks,
Kevin

Hello Kevin,

     Currently i am using DRV110APWR current controller to drive solenoid actuator.In that Peak,Hold Currents and pick up time were programmed with external passive components.But i was looking for a Micro controller(Soft ware based) to drive the solenoid.Could you please suggest any Micro controller(Soft ware based) such as UCD3138-digital power supply controller.

Hi Abdul, 

Please give me a moment to assess your initial concern, thanks, will have response to you by next week. In regards to your concern for MCU control, I would refer you to engagement with EN pin of the device.

Thanks,

Kevin

Are you interested in using DRV110 at all (to drive solenoid)? 

If not, my suggestion to you would be to use MCU paired with one of TI's gate drivers that fits your direct needs - Gate Drivers | Overview | Power ICs | TI.com

As such -

Thanks,
Kevin

Hello kevin,

      Could you please suggest any uC(MCU) for the above concept?

Hi Abdul,

I highly recommend TI's MSP430 as a great platform to build from.

Thanks,

Kevin
