Abstract
A method for driving a plurality of actuators having an output stage having multiple channels, by way of whose channels boost currents are conveyed to the actuators. In this method, a check is made as to whether rising edges of multiple boost currents are present simultaneously (rising edge collision). Upon the identification of simultaneously present rising edges, at least one of the boost currents is conveyed in time-offset fashion to the associated actuator.
