1.3 Thermal Head Drive Circuit

Fig. 3.2 shows the thermal head drive circuit.

Printing data is synchronized with the CLK signal by the SO signal to be output to
the thermal head. It is latched on the driver IC of the thermal head by the LAT
signal, and the heating elements of the thermal head are energized by the STB
signal.

The thermistor on the thermal head is connected to the analog input port AN0 of the
CPU to detect the temperature of the heat radiation plate of the thermal head.
