Abstract

See full text

A step motor drive device includes a step motor including a rotor, stators, and a coil, a drive circuit that outputs a drive signal including a plurality of partial signals that are output intermittently, a detecting circuit that detects an electromagnetic induced current that is generated in the coil after the partial signals are output, and a control unit that controls the drive circuit. The drive circuit outputs one of the partial signals included in the drive signal to the coil, and, in response to a change in an electromagnetic induced current generated in the coil after the partial signal is output, outputs a next partial signal to the coil. The control unit determines a control method of the step motor based on an interval of the plurality of partial signals, and controls the drive circuit based on the determined control method.
