Controlling a solenoid beyond on/off?

Eavesdropper over 13 years ago

How does one control a solenoid beyond turning it on and off?

PWM control? Power it, then scale back the current?

Any info on alternative ways to power a solenoid would be most appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi E, TI just announced a new Solinoid controller this week. You might want to take a look at it for your application. DAB

Are you using a bistable relay?
