Patent ID: 7839184

Claim:
A multi-channel current driver system comprising: a programmable controller; a current driver subsystem for generating first and second different current signals that are applied to an external component; and the programmable controller being programmed to control said current driver subsystem to selectively cause said current driver subsystem to generate said first and second current signals; and the current driver subsystem further including: a master clock input for supplying a master clock signal to said programmable controller; said programmable controller being configured to enable a current turn on point and the current turn off point, for each of said current signals, to be synchronized to said master clock signal; a timer in communication with said programmable controller for setting a specific delay time interval corresponding to a specific current turn off point, from a plurality of available different time delay intervals that correspond to a plurality of different current turn off points; and said programmable controller interrupting said first current signal upon a detected expiration of said specific time delay interval and applying said second current signal.
