    摘要: A liquid crystal controller is provided for a liquid crystal panel having a plurality of pixels, each of which includes a memory element and a display element. The memory element is configured to hold electric potential depending on an image signal and is configured to change the held electric potential based on activation of an enable signal. The display element is configured to be applied voltage depending on the electric potential which the memory element holds. The liquid crystal controller is configured to: hold off outputting the enable signal, for a period th before polarity of AC voltage applied to the display element is inverted and a period (tr+ts) after the polarity of the AC voltage is inverted; and hold off inversion of the polarity of the AC voltage, for an output period of the enable signal and the period th after the output period.

    摘要: A motor drive device includes a driver unit configured to be connected to a stepping motor, and a controller connected to the driver unit. The controller causes the driver unit to output a drive pulse to the stepping motor for causing the stepping motor to rotate stepwise in a prescribed rotation direction. The controller detects, through the driver unit, a current induced by a counter-electromotive force generated in the stepping motor in response to the drive pulse. The controller causes the driver unit to apply a counter pulse having the same electrical polarity as the drive pulse to the stepping motor so as to suppress an amount of the current induced by the counter-electromotive force when the stepping motor is not rotating in response to the drive pulse so that the amount of the induced current detectably differs between when the stepping motor is rotating and not rotating.

    摘要: An electronic device includes: a memory configured to a program; and one or more processors configured to execute the program stored in the memory. The one or more processors are connected to a first circuit and a second circuit, the first circuit being configured to execute a first operation cyclically and output an interrupt signal corresponding to the first operation, the second circuit being configured to execute a second operation in response to an operation instruction. In response to receiving the interrupt signal, the one or more processors output the operation instruction to the second circuit such that the second operation is not executed in a period in which the first operation affects the second operation.

    摘要: An electronic watch includes a pointer; a stepping motor including a coil and configured to drive the pointer; a driving circuit configured to drive the stepping motor; an A/D converter configured to detect electromotive force generated in the coil due to an impact; and a CPU configured to control driving of the driving circuit. The CPU determines a direction in which the pointer is likely to be shifted, based on the electromotive force detected by the A/D converter, determines whether the pointer is shifted due to the impact, and upon determining that the pointer is shifted, corrects a position of the pointer in accordance with the direction in which the pointer is likely to be shifted.

    摘要: A liquid crystal control circuit includes: a first terminal that outputs a rewriting signal for rewriting a plurality of pixels; a second terminal that periodically designates a start timing of the rewriting signal; a third terminal that outputs a polarity signal for designating polarity of AC voltage; a first circuit that identifies a next second inversion timing of any first inversion timing at which the polarity is inverted; a calculator that calculates a first start timing after the first inversion timing based on the start timing; a second circuit that determines whether the second inversion timing is within a period from a predetermined time before the first start timing to the first start timing; and an inversion unit that inverts polarity of the polarity signal after the rewriting signal starting from the first start timing is stopped, when the second inversion timing is within the period.

    摘要: A liquid crystal control circuit is provided for driving a MIP liquid crystal panel. The MIP liquid crystal panel has a plurality of pixels, each of which includes a memory element and a display element. The memory element holds electric potential depending on an image signal. The display element is applied voltage depending on the electric potential which the memory element holds. The liquid crystal control circuit includes an inversion unit that inverts polarity of AC voltage in a first mode in which an enable signal is output. The AC voltage being is applied to the display element in synchronization with outputting of the enable signal. The enable signal activates the image signal output to the MIP liquid crystal panel.
