ABSTRACT:
A print hammer drive circuit is driven by a voltage supply having inherent voltage variations. The driving current is applied to the print hammer coil and the level of the current in the coil detected. After the level of the current in the coil reaches a predetermined maximum level a timing circuit is initiated to control the duration of application of maximum current. Variations in supply voltage on the duration and force of strike of the print hammer have greatly reduced since all timing is based relative to the time that the predetermined drive current level is achieved as distinguished from timing which includes the rise time of the driving current wave form. Also the effects of variations in inductance from coil to coil can be compensated for by adjustment of the timing circuit.
