  • Patent number: 12088155
    Abstract: A driving circuit drives a stepping motor in synchronization with an input clock using a 2-phase excitation method. A constant current chopper circuit generates a pulse modulation signal such that the detection value of the coil current approaches a current setting value. A detection window generation circuit generates a detection window. The detection window becomes an open state at a timing at which the coil current IOUT becomes smaller than a predetermined threshold value. A logic circuit sets a full-bridge circuit to a high-impedance state when the detection window is in the open state and controls the full-bridge circuit according to the pulse modulation signal when the detection window is in the closed state. In the open state of the detection window, a back electromotive force (BEMF) detection circuit detects the BEMF of the coil. A current value setting circuit controls a current setting value based on the BEMF.

  • Patent number: 10738664
    Abstract: A controller sets a target hydraulic pressure from a required hydraulic pressure of a hydraulically operated device according to an operating condition of an engine. The controller causes an oil control valve to perform feedback control of the discharge amount of an oil pump in such a manner that an actual hydraulic pressure detected by a hydraulic pressure sensor coincides with the target hydraulic pressure. The controller executes feedback control after executing fixed duty control of setting a duty ratio of the oil control valve to a fixed duty ratio for a predetermined period of time from start of the engine.
