2.3.2.3 ￿￿ Motor Driver Circuits

The gate array E05B45 produces the phase data (CRDA0-5) for the CR motor and sends it to 2-channel D/A converter in parallel data. When the phase-change trigger signal (CRTRG) is sent from the ￿￿ to the gate array, the A/B phase-change signal (CRDASEL) is output. Then the A-phase-data and B-phase-data are transferred to the channel A and channel B in the D/A converter, respectively. The transferred data for 2 phases are converted into analog data in the converter to be transferred to the CR motor driver ICs (IC19 and IC20), where the phase excitation current is determined for each micro step of the motor. The minimum micro step 0.013 mm/step is enabled by 4-phase motor with 4W1-2 phase driven. The gate array E05B45 (IC16) sends phase data (PHASEA/B, ENAN/ENBN) directly to the CR motor driver ICs A3953 (IC19 and IC20) to control the excitation mode and rotational direction and amount of the motor.

While the CR is in the home position or the printer is in the ink cartridge replacement mode, the 2-2 phase is driven in the low current hold mode to hold the motor. Figure 2-18 shows the ￿￿ motor driver circuit block diagram.
