CBM-710/720 Service Manual 2. CPU Peripheral Circuits 1) CPU and ROM/RAM The CPU M50734SP has a external memory type. Lower 8-bit address is fetched via the A0/D0 bus line by the 8-bit latch LS373. The 128-KB ROM and 64-KB RAM are used for performing the backup operation for power failure by the super capacitor. The ceramic oscillator is used as CPU clock and transmits 7.37 MHz. Fig. 2-1 CPU and ROM/RAM Circuit 2) Initial Resetting and Power Failure Interrupt Circuit The IC12 is an IC for genera

CBM-710/720 Service Manual As can be seen in the timing chart, it detects that Vcc decreased up to about 4.5 V for power failure and generates the power failure interrupt signal and sends it to CPU. Upon receipt of the signal, CPU transmits the data in its buffer to RAM. This processing is done within about 200 μs. After about 1 ms, the reset signal is generated at IC12 and given to CPU, etc., causing all circuits to reset for prevention of explosive running. When the power supply is turned on,

CBM-710/720 Service Manual 3. Printer Control Circuit 1) When L is output to the CPU port P31, the motor rotates and a timing pulse appears at the DP terminal of CN5. 2) After rotation of the motor, printing starts in timing at which the port P34 is changed into L from H by the home pulse of the printer. 3) In 9 ports of CPU output ports P20 to 27 and P30, the L pulse is output to the necessary port. Electricity is applied once to the DOT solenoid for two timing pulses and characters are printed

CBM-710/720 Service Manual 6. Paper End Sensor Circuit Fig. 6-1 shows the paper end sensor circuit. The reflection type photo-interrupter is used as a sensor. When some paper is still left, the light reflected by paper strikes upon the photo-transistor; thus, the collector of the photo- transistor is L. When paper becomes short, no light is reflected, causing the collector to go H. As a result, the CPU input port P40 becomes H, going into the paper end state. Control Circuit Vcc CPU Paper End Se

CBM-710/720 Service Manual 8. Serial Interface Circuit As the serial interface specification, RS-232C and 20 mA current loop can be switched by the slide switch. It can be switched by the user although fixed by setting at delivery time. 1) RS-232C By using MAX232C for data receiving (RD), data transmitting and BUSY (DTR), data is transmitted and received at level of RS-232C. The baud rates of 110 to 9600 bps can be selected by switching the DIP switch. 2) 20 mA Current Loop The photo coupler is

CBM-710/720 Service Manual 9. RS422A Interface Circuit The RS422A interface circuit diagram is shown in Fig. 9-1. As can be seen in the figure, when TXD CONTROL is L, the line driver IC14 becomes enable, going into the ready-to-receive state. At this time, the line receiver IC15 becomes disable. When TXD CONTROL is H, IC14 becomes disable, while IC15 becomes enable, going into the ready-to-receive state. Communication is actually made through 2 lines although usually done through 4 lines (includ
