Electronic analogue timepiece of DC magnetic field detection type

摘要

In an electronic analogue timepiece driven by a stepping motor, DC magnetic field detector is connected to the stepping motor to detect the presence of an external DC magnetic field by comparing two induced voltages induced across a motor coil due to free rotation of a motor rotor after each application of two successive drive pulses to the motor coil. A controller is connected to the DC magnetic field detector to control the stepping motor to effect compensation for the detected DC magnetic field.
