Motor control device, method for operating the same, and image processing apparatus

A motor control device, comprising:

• circuitry configured as
• a unit configured to generate target rotation position information of a direct current motor based on a plurality of pulse signal sequences indicating a target rotation position of a stepping motor;
• and
• a unit configured to generate speed control signals of the direct current motor based on the target rotation position information, wherein
• the unit configured to generate target rotation position information generates the target rotation position information based on a number of pulse signals in a predetermined pulse signal sequence among the pulse signal sequences and based on a value of a pulse signal in another pulse signal sequence among the pulse signal sequences.

• and
• a unit configured to generate speed control signals of the direct current motor based on the target rotation position information, wherein
• when a predetermined value of a predetermined pulse signal sequence among the pulse signal sequences is detected, the unit configured to generate target rotation position information counts a number of pulse signals in another pulse signal sequence among the pulse signal sequences and generates, as the target rotation position information, a value obtained by incrementing or decrementing a count value of the number of pulse signals in the another pulse signal sequence.
