3. Power Supply Control
The 8-bit microprocessor controls the power supply for the overall system.
The following is a description of how the power supply is turned on and off. When the battery is attached, a regulated 3.2 V (power
off: 2.4 V) voltage is normally input to the 8-bit microprocessor (IC301) by IC302, so that clock counting and key scanning is
carried out even when the power switch is turned off, so that the camera can start up again. When the battery is removed, the 8-
bit microprocessor operates in sleep mode using the backup battery. At this time, the 8-bit microprocessor only carries out clock
counting, and waits in standby for the battery to be attached again. When a switch is operated, the 8-bit microprocessor supplies
power to the system as required.
The 8-bit microprocessor first sets the P ON signal at pin (40) to high, and then turns on the DC/DC converter. After this, low
signal is output from pin (17) so that the ASIC is set to the reset condition. After this these pins set to high, and set to active
condition. Once it is completed, the ASIC returns to the reset condition, all DC/DC converters are turned off and the power supply
to the whole system is halted.
