Abstract

A hybrid servo control system for controlling, for example a rotation of a capstan driving motor or a head motor of a video tape recorder comprises at least an integral control loop including an analog phase comparator for detecting in an analog mode a phase difference between a signal related to the rotation of the capstan driving motor or the head motor to be controlled and a reference signal so as to produce an analog amount corresponding to said phase difference, an analog-digital converter for converting said analog amount into a digital amount and a digital frequency modulator for frequency modulating in a digital mode clock pulses with said digital amount.
