VOLTAGE COMPARATOR
5.8
5.8.1
Comparators at IC 70 continually monitor both the
+
5 and
+
12 Volt lines
to detect a low voltage condition. If + 5V is
>
15070 low or + 12V is
>
20070
low, Write current will be disabled, the microprocessor reset, the fault line acti-
vated and the beads deselected.
HEAD SELECT COMPARATORS 5.8.2
When a single head is selected (normal operation), IC 70 (pins 1 and 2) will
be high. If more than one head is selected, the voltage will increase at 70 (pin
4) forcing its output low. An attempt to write with no head selected will decrease
the voltage at
70
(pin
4)
forcing its output low.
A
low on either comparator
will disable the Write circuitry and send a Write Fault to the interface.
