2.3.3.2 E05A15HA Gate Array Functions
This gate array performs chip selection for the main components on the PEGX board, under the control
of the 78 10HG CPU. The gate array also outputs the lower address signals (AO through A7) for the ROM
and RAM using data from the CPU. In addition, the gate array controls the carriage motor and paper
feed motor, and drives the printhead and plunger solenoids.
Table 2-4 shows the pin assignments for the gate array. Refer to the Appendix for the details on the
gate array.
