Abstract
A motor speed control circuit which controls a rotational speed of a motor by controlling an amount of current flowing through a drive coil of the motor. The control circuit comprises a reference voltage circuit that generates a reference voltage corresponding to a speed-specifying signal inputted to specify the rotational speed of the motor; a clamp circuit that limits a level of the reference voltage generated by the reference voltage circuit; a comparator that has a speed voltage corresponding to an actual rotational speed of the motor and the reference voltage limited in level by the clamp circuit applied thereto and compares the two; and a control signal generator that generates and outputs a control signal for controlling the amount of current flowing through the drive coil based on the comparing result of the comparator.
