FACSIMILE SYSTEM

2. SCNT BOARD

“SCNT board” is an abbreviation of System CoNTroller board, and per-

forms control of the entire facsimile system. The control functions of the

SCNT board can be broadly classified into the following four control sec-

tions:

• System control section

• Communications control section

• Reading control section

• Printer control section

Fig. 6-2 System Block Diagram

2.1

System Control Section

This section comprises an

MPU

, system controller, memory (SRAM and

DRAM), main ROM, real-time clock (

RTC

) and other components. A cod-

ing/decoding IC (

CODEC IC

) is sometimes used on some facsimile mod-

els. Each of the ICs in the system control section is connected by a

bus

excluding the RTC.

The MPU has a built-in

DMA

controller for increasing the efficiency of

the

CPU

. The DMA controller performs DMA transfer between each of

the ICs that require transfer of large amounts of data, for example, between

MPU
