a) ASIC(IC1,IC2)
The ASIC(IC1/IC2) with a
Image processing unit
This unit converts the RGB
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.
