A driving device for a stepping motor includes a motor driving circuit configured to generate a current waveform representing an electrical angle in synchronization with a mechanical angle of the stepping motor, and excite the stepping motor using the current waveform; a memory configured to store a value of the electrical angle; and a controller configured to: when a power supply to the stepping motor and the motor driving circuit is stopped, store a first value of the electrical angle held by the motor driving circuit in the memory; and when the power supply is resumed, replace a value of the electrical angle of the motor driving circuit with the first value while suppressing a rotational operation of the stepping motor.
