KD3008-DF10A Printheads Thick film thermal printhead (11.8 dots / mm) KD3008-DF10A Using its expertise in LSI technology, ROHM has developed new high density driver chips for use in the KD3008-DF10A . Capable of being employed for both thermal and thermal transfer printing, with a print speed of 200mm/s, the resulting print heads are the fastest in their class. The high-speed and high-density printing answers the needs of ATM, kiosk and ticket printing devices, which are increasingly being called upon to produce graphical output. zApplications Label printers Ticket printers Terminal printers zFeatures 1) The use of a special partial glaze and the latest heating element structure, along with new high-density driver chips that can accept big current, has allowed ROHM to achieve print speeds of 200mm/s with using thermal history control, the fastest in its class. 2) One rank resistance value of 1000Ω ± 3% eliminates the inconvenience of rank selection. 3) The required driving voltage of 3.15 to 5.25V allows wide range of power supply voltage setting. This also allows multiple choice of electronic components for printers. 4) 2-inch, 3-inch, 4-inch and 8-inch series are available. zDimensions (Unit : mm) 230.5±0.3 (HEATSINK WIDTH) 230 (SUBSTRATE WIDTH) 216.832 (EFFECTIVE PRINT WIDTH) Dot #2560 Dot #1 2.6±0.1 MAX.20.1 CL RESIN COATING FOR PROTECTION IC No.15 No.1 No.15 CONNECTOR.B No.1 (10.2) 5.1±0.2 CONNECTOR.A 5±0.2 220.5±0.2 2-M3 (EFFECTIVE DEPTH 3) CENTER OF HEAT ELEMENT 1/4 KD3008-DF10A Printheads zEquivalent circuit DOT #2560 VH L/S VSF #2560 DOT #1 #1921 #1920 #1281 #1280 #641 #640 VH #1 Vdd STB4 STB1 STB3 STB2 GND GND /LAT LATCH REGISTER DI2 SHIFT REGISTER DO2 TM CLK DO1 DI1 SHIFT REGISTER THERMISTOR 30kΩ B:3950K TM CONNECTOR B CONNECTOR A Dot No. Dot No. Dots / STB.
