2.4.2 C657 Main Board
The logic circuit of the C657 Main Board is composed of the follows;
Logic line (CPU-ASIC 2 in 1, SDRAM, P-ROM and so on)
Motor control/drive circuit (CR Motor, PF Motor, Scanner Motor)
Head control/drive circuit
USB Interface control circuit
Sensor circuit
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.

Ado
ption of 3.3V/1.5V drive logic circuit components
The 5V formed by the Combination Motor Driver (IC5) of C657 Main Board is
stepped down to 3.3V by the Regulator (IC6), 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 (IC6) is stepped down to 1.5V by the
Combination Motor Driver (IC5) and elements that had been driven by 3.3V are
driven by 1.5V for suppression of power consumption.
