ABSTRACT:
A control circuit is disclosed for operating a pulse motor which contains a first winding and a second winding. A first bridge can connect the first winding to a power source in two directions and can also disconnect the first winding therefrom. Likewise, a second bridge can so connect and disconnect the second winding from the power source. A sequencer operates the bridges so that such connection and disconnection takes place according to a predetermined sequence, in order to allow the motor to be rotated in discrete steps. A comparator stage compares current flowing through the first and second windings with an adjustable voltage reference, and regulates the bridges so as to regulate such current in accordance with a value to which the adjustable voltage reference has been adjusted. A means adjusts the adjustable voltage reference in accordance with the predetermined sequence. The control circuit reduces power consumption by the pulse motor and thereby allows a smaller torque pulse motor and a smaller power source to be utilized.
