Abstract

A shift register which receives a transmission clock signal, which is shifted according to the transmission clock signal, and which outputs a gate signal a predetermined time after reset; a reset circuit which outputs a reset signal for resetting the shift register when the reset circuit receives an input of a step signal for driving the stepping motor; and a switching element which receives the gate signal of the shift register and which is switched between a blocked state and a conductive state are provided in a driving circuit of a stepping motor.

Claims (3)

1. A driving circuit of a stepping motor, comprising: a shift register which receives a reference transmission signal, which is shifted according to an input of the reference transmission signal, and which outputs a gate signal a predetermined time after reset; an oscillation circuit oscillates at a frequency according to a capacitance of a capacitor and outputs an oscillation clock signal coupled to the shift register; a reset circuit which outputs a reset signal for resetting the shift register when the reset circuit receives an input of a step signal of two levels for driving the stepping motor and in response to switching of a state of the step signal; and a switching element which receives the gate signal of the shift register and which is switched between a blocked state and a conductive state.

2. The driving circuit of stepping motor according to claim 1 , wherein

the switching element is connected to a circuit which switches a drive voltage of the stepping motor.
