Regulating circuit as for controlling the speed of a motor

摘要

A regulating circuit for controlling the speed of a rotating disc to provide a constant frequency signal from the disc includes a signal pickup device which moves radially along the disc and provides a velocity signal the frequency of which changes by a factor (Delta)f as the position of the pickup device on the disc changes. A processor receives the velocity signal and produces a control signal in accordance with the factor (Delta)f. A change-over switch provides a fine range voltage and a coarse range voltage which are used to control the speed of the disc in a fine range mode and a coarse range mode, respectively.
