ABSTRACT:
A solenoid valve drive system includes a step-up circuit that produces a first high voltage by using a switching device to on/off control supply of current from a battery to a step-up coil and stores the first high voltage in a first capacitor as a high voltage for initial high-voltage driving of a solenoid valve, a second capacitor, and a discriminating circuit for discriminating the level of the charge voltage of the second capacitor. The second capacitor is charged by high voltage from the step-up circuit only when the charge voltage of the second capacitor has not reached a prescribed level. The system can efficiently produce two types of high voltages without enlarging circuit size.
