C571/577 Main Board - Epson STYLUS CX3500 Service Manual

EPSON Stylus CX3500/CX3600/CX3650/CX4500/CX4600

2.4.2 C571/577 Main Board

The logic circuit of the C571/577 Main Board is composed of the follows;
T
Logic line (CPU-ASIC 2 in 1, SDRAM, P-ROM and so on)
T
Motor control/drive circuit (CR Motor, PF Motor, Scanner Motor)
T
Head control/drive circuit
T
USB Interface control circuit
T
Sensor circuit
T
Combination circuit (RTC circuit, Reset circuit, EEPROM circuit)
The printer mechanism is controlled by the above circuits. Following explains the
major characteristics of this Main Board.
V Lithium battery is not mounted
Unlike the previous printer (Stylus COLOR 680), the Lithium battery is not
mounted on the Main Board.
V Adoption of 3.3V/1.5V drive logic circuit components
The 5V formed by the Combination Motor Driver (IC9) of C579 Main Board is
stepped down to 3.3V by the Regulator (IC10), and it is then used as drive voltage
for many elements. In addition, when SPC shifts to low power mode, the 3.3V that
was stepped down by the Regulator (IC10) is stepped down to 1.5V by the
Combination Motor Driver (IC9) and elements that had been driven by 3.3V are
driven by 1.5V for suppression of power consumption.
