Abstract:
A circuit for controlling current flow to an associated inductive load is provided. The circuit includes a switching element having an open state and a closed state that intermittently connects an associated power supply to the inductive load when the switching element is in the closed state, a switch driver that generates a switch drive signal provided to a control element of the switch that controls the state of the switch to be the open state or the close state based on a desired load current set point and a feedback signal, a current sensor that measures a current flowing through the switching element and the load and generates a sensed current signal, and a summing circuit that adds a representation of the sensed current signal and a supplemental signal comprising a representation of the switch drive signal to generate the feedback signal.

Claim (Index 1):
A circuit for controlling current flow to an associated inductive load, the circuit comprising:\n a switching element having an open state and a closed state that is configured to intermittently connect an associated power supply to the associated inductive load when the switching element is in the closed state; a switch driver that generates a switch drive signal provided to a control element of the switching element, the switch drive signal being configured to control the state of the switching element to be in the open state or in the closed state based on a desired load current set point and a feedback signal; a current sensor configured to measure a current flowing through the switching element and the associated inductive load and generate a sensed current signal; and a summing circuit that adds a representation of the sensed current signal and a supplemental signal comprising a representation of the switch drive signal to generate the feedback signal.
