Protective circuit for a printer driver

摘要

In a protective circuit for a printer driver energized from a drive power supply, and associated with a control circuit for controlling the current supply to the printer driver, and connected to a power supply, a first circuit detects a malfunction of the control circuit with a first predetermined time T1 and resets the control circuit, and a second circuit detects a breakdown of the motor drive transistor with a second predetermined time T2 longer than the first predetermined time, and interrupts an input power supply.
