I'm hoping someone familiar with industrial controls can point me to an IC. I've been googling for hours and have come up with only a single possible solution, but it's overkill and I would like to avoid the complexity that goes with the overkill. The requirements are half-bridge or synchronous rectification type topology, 24V DC source and 3.5A+ capacity (or drive external transistors), logic inputs for controlling the solenoid (logic 1 for on, logic 0 for off), current monitoring and SPI or I2C interface for reading diagnostic information. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
So far this is the closest match that I've found, but it's overkill and I'm not 100% sure that the ON duration is tied 100% to the STARTx pins (will the solenoid turn off when the corresponding STARTx pin goes low).
