ABSTRACT:
An inductive load powering arrangement (20) utilizes current monitoring on only one side of the load (22) which in one example is a fuel injector coil. In disclosed examples, a high side driver (28) is on a first side of the coil (22) and the current monitoring occurs on only the first side of the coil (22). The low side driver (30) on an opposite side of the coil (22) is used for chopping to control the level of current in the operating coil (22).
