Current supply circuit and control method for supply current in a magnetic tape apparatus
 In a current supply circuit for supplying a current to a reel-drive motor in a magnetic tape apparatus, the circuit includes: a conversion table storing a relationship between a radius of the magnetic tape wound on a reel and a target current to be supplied to the reel-drive motor, and the target current being converted to a digital command; a correction table storing a relationship between the digital command and an actual current flowing in the motor when the digital command is applied to the motor, the actual current being converted to a digital value; a command unit for outputting the digital command corresponding to the target current in accordance with the conversion table; a supply current control unit for supplying an analog current corresponding to the digital command to the motor; a first correction unit for applying first correction signal to the supply current control unit in response to the actual current flowing in the motor; and a second correction unit for supplying a second correction signal to the supply current control unit in accordance with an error to be corrected from the correction table with reference to the digital command.
