Abstract

A control device for an ultrasonic motor for controlling to drive the ultrasonic motor according to a logical AND operation between a control pulse having a duty ratio changing from 100% to 0% according to a moving position of the ultrasonic motor and a driving signal having a resonance frequency of the ultrasonic motor. Accordingly, after starting the ultrasonic motor at a maximum speed, a moving speed of the ultrasonic motor can be gradually reduced until it reaches a target position, and when reaching the target position, the ultrasonic motor can be stopped precisely at the target position.
