The present disclosure provides a control circuit and a control method of a bistable permanent magnet mechanism. The control circuit includes five switches, a diode and a control unit for controlling the five switches to be turned on and turned off. The control circuit enables the positive and the negative of the current passing through the coil to be adjustable at any time and avoids load breaking, without a complicated design of a driving circuit, thereby reducing the cost. It can also realize PWM control, adapt to a larger current range and different bistable permanent magnet mechanisms, and has a wide range of application scenarios.

Techniques for operating a solenoid include cycling the solenoid, which comprises an H-bridge circuit with a power source and an inductor, between a first operational configuration and a second operational configuration for a first pattern segment. The techniques further include cycling, in response to completing the first pattern segment, the solenoid between a third operational configuration and a fourth operational configuration for a second pattern segment.
