    摘要: A stepping motor control circuit includes a rotation detection portion that detects a rotation condition of a stepping motor, and a control portion that drives and controls the stepping motor by a correction drive pulse P2 having larger drive energy than one of any one of a plurality of main drive pulses P1 each having different drive energy and the respective main drive pulses P1 depending on a detection result of the rotation detection portion. The control portion drives the stepping motor by switching to a fixed drive pulse having drive energy not smaller than drive energy of a main drive pulse P1nmax having maximum drive energy in a case where there is no drive allowance when the stepping motor is driven by the main drive pulse P1nmax having the maximum drive energy. The stepping motor is thus rotary driven normally even in a DC magnetic field.
