4. Power Supply Control

The 8-bit microprocessor controls the power supply for the overall system.

The following is a description of how the power supply is turned on and off. When the battery is attached, a regulated 3.3 V voltage is normally input to the 8-bit microprocessor (IC301) by IC303, so that clock counting and key scanning is carried out even when the power switch is turned off, so that the camera can start up again. When the battery is removed, the 8-bit microprocessor operates in sleep mode using the backup capacitor. At this time, the 8-bit microprocessor only carries out clock counting, and waits in standby for the battery to be attached again. When a switch is operated, the 8-bit microprocessor supplies power to the system as required.

The 8-bit microprocessor first sets both the P (A) ON signal at pin (70) and the P ON signal at pin (71) to low, and then turns on the DC/DC converter. After this, High signals are output from pin (97) so that the ASIC is set to the active condition. If the LCD monitor is on, the LCD ON signal at pin (95) set to Low, and the DC/DC converter for the LCD monitor is turned on.
