a) ASIC(IC1,IC2)

The ASIC(IC1/IC2) with a 32/16-bit internal bus is driven in sync with the 132/66 MHz external clock. It supports the following functions:

Image processing unit

This unit converts the RGB multi-bit image data or CMYK multi-bit data received from the host computer through the interface connector to the binary image data for the ink colors used.

DMA controller

This controller controls the input interfaces such as the USB and expansion card slot as well as DMA transfer of the data to be stored in the DIMM.

Image data generation/output function

This function generates image data for color printing from the received image data and the mask pattern (corresponding to print mode) stored in the DIMM, and store the generated image data in another DIMM. It also outputs the generated image data to the carriage relay PCB.

Interrupt controller

This controller receives and processes internal interrupts and external interrupts from the USB, image processing unit, and expansion card slot.
