摘要:
The distance between a drain contact and gate electrode in a terminating transistor, which couples a termination resistor connected to an output terminal to a power source node, is set shorter than in an output transistor, which drives an output node in accordance with an internal signal. The area of the terminating circuit is reduced while the reliability against the surge is maintained. Thus, an output circuit containing the terminating circuit that occupies a small area and is capable of transmitting a signal/data at high speed is provided.

An image forming apparatus includes an original scanning section, a sheet feeding section, an image forming section, a sheet receiving section and an indicator (LEDs). The image forming section is located between the original scanning section and the sheet feeding section and has a smaller cross-sectional area when cut by a horizontal plane than either of the original scanning section and the sheet feeding section such that a sheet receiving space into which each sheet of the printing medium is ejected is left between the original scanning section and the sheet feeding section. The sheet receiving section is located in the sheet receiving space for receiving the sheets of the printing medium ejected from the image forming section. The indicator notifies users that one or more sheets of the printing medium have been delivered to the sheet receiving section by emitting light.

A cleaning unit includes a cabinet, a cleaning blade, a toner drop preventive sheet, and an auxiliary member. The cabinet has an opening facing an outer periphery of a photosensitive drum. The cleaning blade is operative to scrape down residual toner adhering to the outer periphery of the photosensitive drum. The toner drop preventive sheet is operative to prevent the residual toner scraped down by the cleaning blade from dropping between the photosensitive drum and the cabinet. The auxiliary member is disposed below the toner drop preventive sheet and is movable between a first position for receiving a bulk substance dropping from the toner drop preventive sheet and a second position for dropping the bulk substance received from the toner drop preventive sheet.

Mechanism unit(s) functioning as automatic-feed cassette(s) and mechanism unit(s) functioning as manual-feed tray(s) together form a single integral module, constituting a hybrid paper supply module. In such constitution, paper transport path(s) may be formed between or among first guide member(s) provided at automatic-feed cassette mechanism unit(s) and second guide member(s) provided at manual-feed mechanism unit(s), and manual-feed mechanism unit(s) may be pulled outward and to side(s) of apparatus(es) so as to cause paper transport path(s) to be opened up to the exterior, facilitating removal of jammed paper. Furthermore, given such constitution, a plurality of hybrid paper supply modules may be stacked together to constitute a paper supply mechanism. Manual-feed tray(s) with which manual-feed mechanism unit(s) of respective hybrid paper supply module(s) is or are provided may be collapsible so as to permit extension and/or retraction. This will permit manual-feed tray(s) to be able to accommodate a plurality of types of recording media.

A measuring apparatus includes a dielectric block, a film layer which is formed on a first face of the dielectric block and is brought into contact with a sample, an optical system which causes a light beam to enter the dielectric block through a second face so that the light beam is reflected in total internal reflection at the interface of the dielectric block and the film layer and various angles of incidence of the light beam to the interface can be obtained, and a photodetector which detects the intensity of the light beam which is reflected in total internal reflection at the interface and goes outside the dielectric block through a third face thereof. A measuring chip includes a single dielectric block having all the first to third faces and the film layer integrally formed on the first face of the dielectric block.

When an inputted column address CA and a defect address are compared with each other, an preset defect address and a defect conversion address obtained by inverse conversion of the defect address are both inputted to a comparison circuit. In the comparison circuit, coincidence determination operations are performed being switched between when address conversion is applied to the column address CA and when no address conversion is applied thereto, thereby coincidence comparison can be effected without using the column address CA after an address conversion operation; therefore, a delay in a determination operation accompanying a conversion operation is canceled to perform high speed data reading.

In a SDRAM, a switch circuit is provided between a memory circuit and a data output circuit. The switch circuit provides data read out from the memory circuit to the data output circuit in a normal operation, and provides a count value of an up/down counter in a DLL circuit to the data output circuit when in a test operation. By monitoring output signals in the test operation, testing of whether the DLL circuit is proper or not can be carried out easily and correctly.

A lens-fitted photographic film unit has a flash device for emitting a flash of light. A charge switch is adapted to bring the flash device into an on-state, either by rotation of a film advancing wheel, or when a shutter device is cocked. When the flash device is in the on-state, a main capacitor is charged so as to allow emission of a flash of light. In a preferred embodiment, the charge switch is initially turned on so as to keep the flash device in the on-state. In another preferred embodiment, the flash device is in the on-state while the charge switch is on, and is in the off-state while the charge switch is off, in response to the shutter device. When the lens-fitted photographic film unit is contained in a wrapper, an insulating tape is inserted between a positive electrode of the battery and a contact segment. Upon the wrapper being torn off the lens-fitted photographic film unit, the insulating tape is pulled out of the lens-fitted photographic film unit, so as to bring the flash device into the on-state.
