    摘要: A method for controlling energizing of an ink jet printhead includes the steps of generating encoder pulses to a motor to activate the motor to move the printhead at a desired speed over a recording medium; generating and sending fire pulses at a fire pulse frequency from an ASIC to an ink jet printhead driver chip to selectively energize ink jet printhead nozzles to eject drops of ink onto the recording medium based on a predetermine relationship between an expected encoder pulse frequency and the fire pulse frequency; compensating for variations in the speed of the ink jet printhead movement caused by variations in the encoder pulse frequency by using the ASIC for continuously comparing the encoder pulse frequency to the fire pulse frequency and for adjusting the fire pulse frequency based upon the variations to the encoder pulse frequency to maintain the predetermined relationship thereby synchronizing the ink jet printhead movement with the energizing of the printhead nozzles.

    摘要: An integrated circuit driver for a brushless motor having an encoder which includes a plurality of Hall-effect sensors operative for providing commutation information to a motor controller includes a commutation decoding section for decoding the commutation information from the Hall-effect sensors and an analog current limiter. The current limiter includes a circuit for dynamically switching the current limit values for current in the motor between a high current limit value and a low current limit value based on the average or RMS value of the motor winding current. The current limit values must be provided externally. A Hall-effect sensor quadrature encoder is provided on the integrated circuit and a selection switch allows for the selection of a quadrature output from an external optical encoder or the internal Hall-effect sensor encoder.
