Abstract
An inductive load driver is constructed with a driving means (205), responsive to a control input (211). The driving means (205) provides energy to an inductive load (203) and then prevents the providing of energy to the inductive load (203). The inductive load (203) reflects the previously provided energy to the driving means (205) when the driving means (205) is preventing the providing of energy. A control means adjusts the energy to the inductive load (203) responsive to the reflected energy provided by the inductive load (203).
