20120307602 | ELECTRONIC WATCH - When recovering power from a motor driver, a forward voltage across a parasitic diode can reduce the recovery efficiency, and control of a power recovery operation can take an unnecessarily long time. In order to address this problem, the power recovery operation is performed as follows without being affected by a parasitic diode: near a peak position of a waveform of an induced current resulting from free oscillation of a rotor after a drive pulse is output, a recovery pulse having such a level that the rotor does not rotate is output from a terminal different from a motor driver terminal to which the drive pulse was output. Also, by adjusting the width and output timing of the recovery pulse based on a power supply voltage, the power recovery can be optimized for the power supply voltage. | 12-06-2012 |
