Abstract:
Ink type information is read by a read and write system (62) from a semiconductor storage system mounted on ink cartridges (9a to 9d) attached to a cartridge holder (8). A decision control system (61) decides whether or not ink type information has already been stored in ink type storage system (63), and stores the ink type information thus read when the ink type information is not stored. In the case in which the ink cartridge is exchanged, the ink type information is similarly read and it is decided whether or not the same ink type information is identical to the ink type information stored in the ink type storage system (63). If they are not identical to each other, the operation of the recording apparatus is inhibited and a display system (68) is caused to display an error message thereon.
Abstract:
A semiconductor integrated circuit device having a voltage controlled oscillation circuit that is capable of sufficient oscillation performance and a wireless communication device having the semiconductor integrated circuit device are disclosed. A difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the oscillation output signal is automatically controlled to be substantially equal to the first predetermined voltage which is the threshold voltage of the oscillation MOSFET for sufficient phase noise performance. It is further disclosed that the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the oscillation output signal may be varied by the change of the threshold voltage of the MOSFET caused by substrate bias effect, while maintaining the sufficient phase noise performance.
