Abstract
A circuit controllably and independently recycles the discharge current of a plurality of inductive loads that are connected between first and second power supply terminals. For each of the loads, an active element for driving the inductive load is provided, as well as a regulator for controlling the recycling of the discharge current from the respective load, which is connected to the control terminal of the active element and to a node for connection between the active element and the respective inductive load.
