摘要:
An apparatus is provided for ejecting liquid drops while eliminating a special sensor (a photosensor) and improve detection accuracy for abnormal ink drop ejection. When the detecting an abnormal ink drop ejection, a drive circuit outputs an actuator-driving voltage in addition to an original drive voltage with a contact of a changeover switch located in a first position. The original drive voltage causes the electrostatic actuator to be driven. Thus, the vibrating plate is vibrated, whereby ink drops are ejected. Thereafter, the electrostatic actuator is charged with a charge according to the actuator-driving voltage. The charging voltage corresponds to the residual vibration of the vibrating plate. Then, the contact of the changeover switch is switched to a residual vibration-detecting circuit. Thus, the residual vibration-detecting circuit is supplied with the charging voltage to thereby output a residual vibration waveform.

A control circuit for controlling two N-channel FETs determines whether charging has ended by detecting that two P-channel FETs have been off for a prescribed amount of time, based on comparison results from two comparators and, if charging is decided to have ended, the two N-channel FETs are set to the off state for just a set amount of time.
摘要:
A controller for through current prevention circuit controlling two N-channel FETs sets a shorted period based on a clock signal and, when two P-channel FETs are off during the shorted period, sets the N-channel FETs to on, and when chattering occurs in the P-channel FETs forcibly sets the two N-channel FETs to the off state for a given amount of time.
