2.3 CONTROL CIRCUIT
The control circuit consists of the C166 MAIN board assembly and C165 PNL board This section describes
the major components and explains how the boards work.
2.3.1 Overview of Control Circuit Operation
The printer’s control circuit includes a TMP96C041AF CPU that runs at 14.74 MHz, an E05B13YA gate
array, a 1M bit PS-RAM (8-bit bus, less than 80ns) , a 2M bit PROM (8-bit bus, less than 120ns), and other
circuits. It oversees control of all the components in the printer. The following chart shows you a block
diagram of the control circuit.
