2.3.4.3 Carriage Drive Circuit Block Description
Figure 2-43 shows a block diagram of the carriage motor drive circuit. In this circuit, phase switching for
the carriage motor is not directly executed by the CPU, but by the gate array (7A) using pulses from the
CPU. SLA7020M is utilized to drive the carriage motor, using a stabilized current.
