REV A
Additional features include a high voltage bias regulator, automatic switch-over to external bias
for improved efficiency, thermal shutdown, frequency synchronization, cycle by cycle current
limit and adjustable line under-voltage lockout.
The device is available in a power enhanced TSSOP-20 package featuring an exposed die attach
pad to aid thermal dissipation
7-42VDC input voltage and converts it to 6.25VDC/7A.
This voltage output is for the Print Head.
6. LT1940, Dual Monolithic 1.4A, 1.1MHz Step-Down Switching Regulator
The LT1940 is a dual current mode PWM step-down DC/DC converter with internal 2A power
switches.
Both converters are synchronized to a single 1.1MHz oscillator and run with opposite phases,
reducing input ripple current.
The output voltages are set with external resistor dividers, and each regulator has independent
shutdown and soft-start circuits.
Each regulator generates a power-good signal when its output is in regulation, easing power
supply sequencing and interfacing with microcontrollers and DSPs.
The LT1940’s 1.1MHz switching frequency allows the use of tiny inductors and capacitors,
resulting in a very small dual 1.4A output solution.
Constant frequency and ceramic capacitors combine to produce low, predictable output ripple
voltage.
With its wide input range of 3.6V to 25V
Converts it to 3.3V/1.4A and 1.45V/1.4A. 1.45V is for VCORE which is the processor’s core
voltage.
3.3V is for the remaining voltages such as I/O and peripheral supply voltage.
7. LM2940, 1A Low Dropout Regulator
The LM2940 positive voltage regulator features the ability to source 1A of output current with a
dropout voltage of typically 0.5V and a maximum of 1V over the entire temperature range.
Furthermore, a quiescent current reduction circuit has been included which reduces the ground
current when the differential between the input voltage and the output voltage exceeds
approximately 3V.
The quiescent current with 1A of output current and an input-output differential of 5V is therefore
only 30 mA.
Higher quiescent currents only exist when the regulator is in the dropout mode (VIN − VOUT
3V).
The linear regulator (LDO) take a maximum of 26VDC input voltage and converts it to 5V/1A.
This voltage output is for printer control board logic and boost converter.
8. LM2733, 0.6/1.6 MHz Boost Converters With 40V Internal FET Switch in SOT-23
The LM2733 switching regulators are current-mode boost converters operating fixed frequency of
1.6 MHz (“X” option).
The use of SOT-23 package, made possible by the minimal power loss of the internal 1A switch,
and use of small inductors and capacitors result in the industry's highest power density.
Protection is provided through cycle-by-cycle current limiting and thermal shutdown.
Internal compensation simplifies design and reduces component count.
Boost Converter takes 3.3VDC from the Buck Converter and boosts the voltage output to
17.8VDC to 25.5VDC.
