    Abstract: A control device for a stepping motor capable of hold control that can smoothly reduce an excitation current at a rotation stopping time of the stepping motor is provided. A control device (10) for a stepping motor (20) causes an excitation current to flow in a plurality of coils to rotate a rotor. The control device (10) includes a driving circuit (40) that applies a driving voltage to the coils, and a control circuit (30) that controls the driving voltage. The control circuit (30) performs hold control to move the rotor to a predetermined stop position by changing a magnitude of the excitation current flowing in the coils so that the magnitude of the excitation current becomes close to a target current value that gradually decreases, in a hold time period at a rotation stopping time of the stepping motor (20). The control circuit (30) sets an operation mode of the driving circuit (40) at an operation mode corresponding to a comparison result of the magnitude of the excitation current and the target current value, of a plurality of operation modes, at each predetermined period in the hold time period. The plurality of operation modes include a charge mode to increase the excitation current and a first attenuation mode to attenuate the excitation current.

    Abstract: A motor drive control device has a controller and a driver. The controller generates a control signal for controlling driving of a two-phase stepping motor so as to alternately repeat one-phase excitation in which a coil of one phase in coils of two phases of the two-phase stepping motor is excited and two-phase excitation in which the coils of two phases in the coils of the two phases are excited. The driver drives the coils of the two phases, based on the control signal. The controller determines, based on a back electromotive force generated in the coil that was not excited during the one-phase excitation, a period of performing the one-phase excitation, and determines, based on the period of the one-phase excitation performed before the two-phase excitation, a period of performing the two-phase excitation.
