Solenoid driver DRV102T problem

Hi all

I'm trying to operate simple solenoid valve using Camozzi U72 solenoid

www.camozzi.com.cn/download/product/ENG_2_2_35.pdf

It operates in 12V (5W) and has 3 inputs

And I'm using DRV102t solenoid driver

http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/lit...2&fileType=pdf

DRV102 output pin 6 shows nice PWM output variating from 0 to 12V, but actual solenoid load pin never goes below 6,8V. So the PWM output variates between 6,8 to 12V in load output

why the PWM load never goes 0V ? I guess that my diode selection could be wrong....I've IN4148, IN4007, IN5408, IN5822 diodes available. Can some of those be used in this solenoid driver application ?

Or is it possible that DRV102 could not driver Camozzi U72 ? (I doubt)
Thanks in advanced.
