Abstract
A driving apparatus used for an analog indicating instrument having a pair of cross coils comprises a pulse signal generating device for generating a pulse signal having a frequency proportional to a quantity to be measured, a frequency-voltage conversion device for generating a ripple voltage proportional to the frequency of the pulse, holding a mean voltage of the ripple voltage as an analog voltage while restraining the ripple, and controlling the analog voltage so as to change following a mean value of the ripple voltage, thereby to supply the analog voltage, and driving devices for supplying a current in accordance with the analog voltage to the cross coils so as to drive these cross coils. The driving apparatus has effects on improving responsibility of frequency-voltage conversion operation in a low frequency region and reducing the deflection of a pointer of an instrument by restraining the ripples.
