Abstract

A three state driver for an inductive load, e.g., a stator winding of a variable reluctance motor, allows the use of charge, idle, and discharge states in which a positive voltage, a short, and a reverse voltage are connected across the inductive load, respectively. An H-bridge comprising two electronic switches and two diodes is used to switch the inductive load voltages as commanded by a comparator circuit which compares the load current to a desired load current.
