Abstract
A sweep motion second function is added to an analog electronic timepiece. Angular velocity control of a stepping motor for a seconds hand in which a rotor is provided is executed. A stepping motor model calculates an equation of motion and a circuit equation regarding the stepping motor in real time. Sweep drive is executed with a sweep drive pulse width generated through performing a proportional integral of the difference between angular velocity set to π (radians/second) and angular velocity of the stepping motor model. Correction of the load torque is executed using the rotor angle at the zero crossing of a back electromotive voltage generated across a coil of the stepping motor and the calculated angular velocity. A DC current is applied to coils disposed at bridges of a yoke and the detent torque of the stepping motor is reduced. Time lag is corrected using a GPS time signal.
