ABSTRACT:
An excitation current control device for an automotive electromagnetic clutch includes a first and a second transistor 8 and 13 and a current detector resistor 14, coupled in series with the electromagnetic clutch. The first transistor is PWM controlled to control the amount of excitation current through the electromagnetic clutch. The second transistor turns off the excitation current in response to the disconnection signal for the electromagnetic clutch. The current detector amplifier 6 includes, in addition to an operational amplifier 61 and an input and a feedback resistor 63 and 62, an offset resistor 64 for offsetting the base current of the second transistor and the current flowing through a reverse excitation resistor 12 and the detector resistor 14. Alternatively, the offset correction for base current is effected by a software calculation.
