Abstract

In this paper, development of Thermal Printer Head(TPH) controller by using gate array having high reliability and good performance is proposed. Over the 3000 gates are performed to control print image data signals and relative peripheral hardwares. The proposed gate array has TPH control circuit, print control and step motor drive, and print image data control, decoder output control parts. This TPH controller will be a good application to FAX or label printer and barcode printers.
