An improved energy efficient intelligent pulser driver used for generating
a mud pulse in a MWD (measurement while drilling) application. In the
pulser driver, a direct current (DC) powered control circuit activates a
three-phase DC brushless motor that operates a servo-valve. Opening of
the servo-valve equalizes pressure in a plenum causing the operation of a
main valve reducing flow area and causing a pressure spike in the mud
column. Closing of the servo-valve creates a reduction in mud pressure
that operates the main valve and increases the flow area causing an end
to the pressure spike. The servo-valve is powered both in opening and
closing operations by the motor.
