13.2 Circuits
Components mentioned in this chapter are marked with gray in the draw-
ing below.
Processor (U13)
The processor is a 32-bit RISC offering about 125 MIPS at the internal 
clock speed 96MHz. The internal bus speed is twice the external bus speed 
at 48MHz. The processor has several features, such as integrated SDRAM 
controller, PCI bridge, DMA, UART, timers, etc. 
Support Chip (U30)
The PSA (Processor Support ASIC) is a programmable logic device, which 
is programmed by the fi rmware at each startup. It contains most of the 
printer-specifi c and other logic functions, such as
•  Printhead data and strobe control
•  Stepper and DC motor logic
• Sensor interface
•  Timers and interrupt control
•  Control logic for bar code wand and the electronic key/RTC 
• I

C master
•  Beeper signal generation
•  Interface to A/D converter, console, fi nisher, etc.
