Abstract:
A motor control circuit includes an input voltage measuring unit, a temperature measuring unit, a current setting unit, and a current control unit. The input voltage measuring unit measures an input voltage input to the motor control device. The temperature measuring unit measures the temperature. The current setting unit sets a target value of drive current to flow through a coil of a stepping motor based on a measurement result of the input voltage measuring unit and a measurement result of the temperature measuring unit and based on a set value of drive current preset for each of plural partial areas, which are sectioned in a matrix form with a threshold value related to the input voltage and a threshold value related to the temperature. The current control unit controls the drive current according to the target value of the drive current set in the current setting unit.
