Abstract
A hydraulic valve control circuit of a hydraulic valve comprises an external voltage supply, an output stage having a voltage supply input and at least one output configured to actuate an actuator of the hydraulic valve, an overcurrent protective device disposed in a path between the external voltage supply and the voltage supply input, an enable input configured to activate and deactivate the output stage, and a switch configured to connect the at least one output to a fixed potential when the output stage is deactivated.
