<p>A seek pattern formation circuit (5) includes a seek pattern generation circuit (2) for generating a seek pattern formed of a predetermined pulse train every time a step pulse is applied and a seek pattern shaping circuit (3) for shaping the seek pattern and supplying the shaped seek pattern to a stepping motor driver (6). When the period for which the step pulse is supplied is shorter than the period for which the seek pattern is generated, and when at least one of pulses included in the seek pattern is very narrow, the seek pattern shaping circuit selectively eliminates the narrow pulse. As a result, narrow pulses which may induce noise are not supplied to the stepping motor driver, and hence a malfunction in the stepping motor driver does not occur. <IMAGE></p> |
