Abstract:
An apparatus and method of detecting movement of a plunger of the solenoid includes detecting a peak (I PEAK ) in a current signal applied to a coil of the solenoid. A predetermined threshold is added to the current signal applied to the coil of the solenoid to generate a level shifted signal. The level shifted signal and the peak signal are compared to detect movement of a plunger of the solenoid.

Claim (Index 8):
In a system for operating a solenoid, a circuit to detect complete movement of the plunger of the solenoid, comprising:\n a device for measuring current through the solenoid and generating a first current signal; an active peak detector circuit receiving the first current signal for detecting a peak thereof and generating a peak detection signal; a level shifter circuit coupled in parallel with the active peak detector and receiving the first current signal, the level shifter circuit adding a threshold voltage to the first current signal to generate a level shifted signal; and a comparator comparing the peak detection signal with the level shifted signal, whereby if the level shifted signal matches the peak detection signal, complete movement of the solenoid is detected.
