2.4.1 Power Supply Board
In the Power Supply Board of Stylus CX4300/CX4400/CX5500/CX5600/DX4400/
DX4450, the simulated oscillating stimulation flyback converter circuit method is
used, and it supplies +42 VDC to the drive line. The application of the output voltage is
described below.
AC voltage input from AC inlet first goes through filter circuit that removes high
frequency components and is then converted to DC voltage via the rectifier circuit and
the smoothing circuit. DC voltage is then led to the switching circuit and FET QF1
preforms the switching operation. By the switching operation of the primary circuit,
+42VDC is generated and stabilized at the secondary circuit.
2.4.2 Main Board
The logic circuit of the Main Board is composed of the following:
Logic line (CPU-ASIC 4 in 1, Flash-ROM and so on)
Motor control/drive circuit (CR Motor, PF Motor, Scanner Motor)
Head control/drive circuit
