64-bit THERMAL HEAD DRIVER

S-4611A

The S-4611A is a CMOS thermal print head driver containing a 64-bit (32-bit2) shift register and a 64-bit latch. It is ideal for the video printer and the low-voltage-operation thermal print head because of large driver output current and small ON-state resistance. Moreover, it is most suitable for high-speed video printer as its clock frequency is 14 MHz max. and the shift register is 32-bit2.

Features
Low current consumption : 1.2 mA typ. (fCLK=14 MHz, SI : fixed) High speed operation : 14 MHz (chip) 64-bit shift register and latch are built in Driver enable Driver-off function when supply voltage falls

Driver output voltage : 36 V max. Driver output current : 70 mA max.

Selectable H/L for latch and driver enable

Operation
The 64-bit shift register reads the data input to SI 1 or SI2 on the rising edge of the CLOCK input. The data from SI1 are read in 1-bit to 32-bit of shift register and the data from SI2 are read in 33-bit to 64-bit. The latch circuit operates depending on the levels of CONT and LATCH ; it reads the data of the shift register when their levels are the same, and it holds the data of the shift register when they differ. The latch data are output to the respective drivers when AEN is low and BEN is high. The driver output transistor turns on when the latch data are high and turns off when low. Turning AEN high or BEN low makes all driver output transistors go off. All driver output transistors go off when power supply voltage becomes lower than VDET regardless of all input signals.
