摘要: An electronic watch includes a power source, an electrostatic motor including a rotor in which a plurality of electret films are arranged in a rotational direction and a plurality of fixed electrodes arranged in the rotational direction at positions facing the rotor, a hand rotating in conjunction with the rotation of the rotor, and a motor control circuit controlling the electrostatic motor. The motor control circuit selectively executes a hand movement mode for rotating the hand and a stop mode for keeping the hand stationary. In the stop mode, the motor control circuit keeps the rotor stationary through electrostatic forces exerted on the electret films from the fixed electrodes with the polarities of the fixed electrodes maintained.

摘要: Provided is a small-sized electrostatic motor having a rotor capable of starting reliably to rotate forward. The electrostatic motor includes a rotor rotatable around a rotating shaft, charged portions formed radially around the rotating shaft on upper and lower surfaces of the rotor, first and second stators disposed to sandwich the rotor therebetween, and first sets and second sets of fixed electrodes respectively formed radially around the rotating shaft on the surfaces of the first and second stators facing the rotor and selectively energized according to drive pulses to rotate the rotor by electrostatic force generated between the charged portions and the fixed electrodes. The average number of sets of fixed electrodes simultaneously energized in one cycle of the drive pulses out of the first sets and second sets of fixed electrodes is equal to the average of the numbers of first sets and second sets of fixed electrodes.

摘要: Provided is a drive circuit for a two-coil stepper motor, including a rotor that is magnetized to an N-pole and an S-pole, first, second, and third stator magnetic-pole portions, a coil A, and a coil B. The drive circuit includes a drive pulse generation circuit configured to output a drive pulse (SP) for driving the coil A and the coil B, a detection pulse generation circuit configured to output a detection pulse (CP) to the coil A and the coil B in order to detect counter-electromotive currents generated in the coil A and the coil B along with a movement of the rotor after the rotor is driven based on the drive pulse, and a detection circuit configured to receive a detection signal (CS) generated based on the detection pulse as input, to thereby detect the movement of the rotor. At least one of the detection pulse to the coil A or the detection pulse to the coil B is output.
