Abstract

Apparatus for controlling an electronic time piece having two motors M1, M2 comprises only six power transistors T13 to T18 divided into pairs of transistors of opposite conductivity type, the transistors of each pair being connected in series with each other in a respective switching circuit connected between the supply terminals (+,-). The first motor M1 is connected between the middle connection points of the pairs T13/T14 and T17/T18 and the second motor M2 between the middle connection points of the pairs T17/T18 and T15/T16. The pair of transistors T17/T18 is thus common to the two motors. The circuit provides alternating pulses to each motor M1, M2 or may be used to energize two separate windings of a single motor, for reverse and forward drive. If two motors are used, one may drive a seconds hand and a minutes hand, and the other an hours hand and a date indicator. Opposite conductivity type FETs may be used instead of bipolar transistors.
