摘要： A detector circuit for detecting a malfunction of a circuit due to a low third power supply voltage that has the same amplitude and potential as an input signal is provided. Based on an output signal of the detector circuit, whether an output of a second power supply voltage generation circuit for activating a heater driving circuit is allowed or not is determined. When the third power supply voltage is low and the heater driving circuit operates improperly, no power supply voltage is supplied from the second power supply voltage generation circuit. Since no power supply voltage is supplied to the heater driving circuit, the heater driving circuit does not drive a corresponding heater.

摘要： A buffer circuit for shaping a waveform of a logic signal is arranged where a line for a logic circuit included in a recording-head substrate is divided into substantially equal portions, the line having an unignorable parasitic component due to its increased length. Therefore, the recording-head substrate, a recording head using the recording-head substrate, and a recording apparatus including the recording head are capable of minimizing the adverse effects of parasitic resistance and parasitic capacitance in lines even when the length of a heater array is increased.
