Principles of Operation

Reset Circuit

The control circuits are initialized when the RESET signal is issued. The reset operation occurs under these two conditions:

1. Power on reset

Immediately after the power is turned on, +35 VDC is rapidly generated. Because it takes a moment for the voltage at ZD2 to reach +31.5 V, the voltage at the DISC terminal on the gate array does not reach +5 VDC until capacitor C24 is fully charged. A similar integration circuit is provided in the gate array and further delays the output of the ROUT signal. This LOW level is used as a reset signal.

2. INIT signal reset

The reset signal is also issued when the INIT signal is sent from the host computer.

Figure 6-25 shows the power on reset circuit.
