  • Publication number: 20010026180
    Abstract: A motor rotational pulse generating circuit for a motor is provided which generates a correct pulse signal even at an initial turning-on stage of the motor, by adjusting a filter cutoff frequency in response to motor rotational condition. The motor rotational pulse generating circuit includes a rotational pulse generation circuit 20 which generates ripple pulses based on a signal being inputted from the DC motor 1, in which a ripple is superposed whose frequency is in proportion to a rotation number of the DC motor 1. A filter 3 makes a cutoff frequency variable on the basis of a clock signal issued from a PLL circuit 6. An oscillation frequency at an oscillator VCO10 is determined by the ripple pulses and a motor rotation condition signal inputted by way of circuits 12 to 16 inclusive. A microcomputer 20 operates, when the motor is turned on, to cause the oscillator VCO10 to issue a preliminary clock signal.
