Abstract

PURPOSE:To shorten time for inspection and reduce cost for the inspection by controlling a driving output terminal into a high-impedance state even when a driving circuit is assembled in a stepping motor. CONSTITUTION:When a signal PS is at L, gates 7-10 generate L-level outputs, so PMOSTrs 3 and 5 turn on and NMOSTrs 4 and 6 are still off, to VDDs are outputted as 1st and 2nd driving outputs. When the signal PS goes up to an H level while the signal PL is at an L level, the gates 7 and 8 generate H-level outputs, so the Tr 3 turns off and the Tr 4 turns on, so a driving output VSS appears at the 1st driving output terminal 1. If the signal PS goes up to the H level when the signal PL is at the H level, the gates 9 and 10 generate H-level outputs, the Tr 5 turns off, and the TR 6 turns on, so the 2nd driving output is sent out. Further, when a signal HI goes up to the H, the gate 7 generates an H-level output and the gates 8 and 10 generate L outputs, so the Trs 3, 5, 6, and 7 turn off. The terminals 1 and 2 are therefore placed in high-impedance states.

[Industrial Application Field 1] The present invention relates to a stepping motor drive circuit system for an electronic watch that displays the time by moving hands using a stepping motor. [Prior Art J An example of driving a stepping motor according to the prior art will be explained with reference to a block diagram in FIG. 2 and a timing chart in FIG. 3. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the wiring of the drive circuit. l is the first drive output terminal, 2 is the second drive output terminal, 11 is the coil of the stepping motor, 12 is the drive circuit, the first drive output terminal l and the second drive output terminal 2 are each a stepping motor. - Connected to both ends of the motor coil 11. Next, the operation will be explained using the timing chart shown in FIG. The drive output 1 of the first drive output terminal 1 and the drive output 2 of the second drive output terminal 2 are both at the VDD level in normal times. Therefore, there is no voltage difference between the first drive output terminal l and the second drive output terminal 2. When the timing to drive the stepping motor comes, the first drive output terminal l or the second drive output terminal Output terminal 2 outputs a VSS level pulse. The VSS level pulses are alternately output from the first drive output terminal 1 and the second drive output terminal 2. This causes current to flow through the coil 11 of the stepping motor shown in FIG. 2, generating a magnetic field and rotating the stepping motor. [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the above-mentioned prior art, when assembling a pointer-type electronic timepiece, the operation of the stepping motor after the drive circuit is assembled is checked based on the drive output from the drive circuit. The drawback was that it could not be inspected. For example, 2
Inspecting the operation of the stepping motor of a pointer-type electronic watch with a long hand movement cycle, such as 0-second movement, requires a long inspection time of at least 20 seconds, leading to an increase in inspection costs. The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to reduce the time required to test the operation of a stepping motor after assembling a drive circuit in a pointer-type electronic timepiece. The purpose is to provide circuits. [Means for Solving the Problem] A drive output terminal for driving a stepping motor has three output states: a high voltage level output state, a low level voltage output state, and a high impedance state. [Function] With the above configuration, even if the drive circuit is assembled in the stepping motor, if the drive output terminal is controlled to a high impedance state, it is possible to directly input a signal to the stepping motor coil from the outside. Become.

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 1, where l is a first drive output terminal, 2 is a second drive output terminal, and signal PS is a pulse signal for outputting a drive pulse. The signal PL is a signal that controls whether the drive output is output to the first drive output terminal 1 or the second drive output terminal 2, and changes from high level to low level every time one signal PS is output.・Switching level or from low level to high level. The signal HI is the first
and a control signal that puts both the second drive output terminal in a high impedance state, 3 and 5 are PchMOSTr, 4 and 6 are N
chMOSTr. The operation will be described next.During normal operation, the signal HI is at a low level. Here, if the signal PS is low level, all gates 7.8.9.10 output low level, so PchMOSTr3 and 5 are turned on, and N
Since chMOSTr4 and 6 are turned off, the first and second drive outputs output VDD. When the signal PS becomes high level while the signal PL is low level, the gate 7
and 8 output high level, so PchMOSTr
3 is turned off and NchMOSTr4 is turned on, so the first
Drive output terminal 1+, :outputs a drive output of VSS. When the signal PS becomes high level while the signal PL is high level, gates 9 and 10 output high level,
Since the PchMOSTr5 is turned off and the NchMOSTr6 is turned on, a drive output of vSS is output to the second drive output terminal 2. On the other hand, when signal HI becomes high level, gates 7 and 9
outputs a high level, and gates 8 and 1O output a low level, so PchMOSTr3 and 5, NchM
OSTr4 and OSTr6 are all turned off. Therefore, both the first drive output terminal 1 and the second drive output terminal 2 are in a high impedance state. [Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the drive output terminal for driving the stepping motor can be brought into a high impedance state, even if the drive output terminal and the coil of the stepping motor are connected. By contacting both terminals of the coil from the outside by blowing or the like, it is possible to input an arbitrary test signal. As a result, even in the case of a pointer-type electronic watch with a relatively long hand movement cycle such as a 20-second movement, by inputting a fast-cycle drive signal to both terminals of the coil, inspection time can be shortened and inspection costs can be reduced. Also,
It also contributes to improving quality assurance, such as being able to check the operation of the stepping motor by changing the width of the drive pulses input to the coil.
