6.3.3. ASIC (IC501)
This custom IC is used for the general FAX operations.
1. CPU:
This model uses a Z80 equivalent to the CPU operating
at 12 MHz. Most of the peripheral functions are performed
by custom-designed LSIs. Therefore, the CPU only works
for processing the results.
2. RTC:
Real Time Clock
3. DECODER:
Decodes the address.
4. ROM/RAM I/F:
Controls the SELECT signal of ROM or RAM and the
bank switching.
5. CIS I/F:
Controls the document reading.
6. IMAGE DATA RAM:
This memory is programmed into the ASIC and uses 8
KB for the image processing. (See Fig. A.)
7. THERMAL HEAD I/F:
Transmits the recorded data to the thermal head.
8. MOTOR I/F:
Controls the transmission motor which feeds the docu-
ment.
Controls the receiving motor which feeds the recording
paper.
9. OPERATION PANEL I/F:
Serial interface with Operation Panel.
10. I/O PORT:
