Abstract

PURPOSE:To stably form an image with high accuracy by providing a latch circuit for digital data, its control circuit, a D/A converting circuit, a reference power source circuit supplying the converting circuit and a buffer amplifying device on a semiconductive chip. CONSTITUTION:Digital data of eight bits is inputted to terminals D0-D7 in the latch circuit 1 from a CPU. The chip select terminal 20 of a control logic 2 supplying a latch timing pulse, etc., to the latch circuit 1 is connected to the decoder circuit of the CPU, while a chip enable terminal 21 is connected to a write enable terminal. When the terminals 20 and 21 are simultaneously at 'L', data inputted to the input terminal of the circuit 1 is outputted to a D/A converter 3 as it is. When the terminal 20 and/or terminal 21 changes from 'L' to 'H', the data inputted to the input terminal of the circuit 1 is latched by the circuit 1. By referring to a voltage outputted from the reference power source circuit 4, the converter 3 converts the data from the circuit 1 into analog signals, and a buffer amplifier 5 further converts it into a voltage and outputs the voltage.

(b) Prior Art In image forming apparatuses such as electrophotographic copying machines, it is necessary to control the high voltage applied to the main charger, the bias voltage applied to the developing section, etc. with high stability and precision.

(C) Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in conventional image forming apparatuses, each of these elements is independently composed of, for example, discrete parts, and therefore there is a problem in that the stability of operation cannot be sufficiently increased. In particular, in order to convert digital data into an accurate analog signal, the reference power supply means must be highly accurate, and the buffer amplification means must be composed of an operational amplifier, so the offset and gain must be appropriate. However, in conventional image forming apparatuses, these elements are configured independently, making it difficult to adjust the power supply and the offset and gain of the buffer amplification means to an appropriate state. Moreover, if the temperature characteristics of each element are different, the characteristics change during operation, making it impossible to perform high-accuracy/Δ conversion.

(e) Function The image forming apparatus according to the present invention includes a latch means for latching digital data from a data processing means such as a CPU, a control means for the latch means, and a D/A converter for D/A converting the latched data. The A means, the reference means, and the buffer amplification means are all integrated on one semiconductor chip. Therefore, the electrical characteristics of each element are almost the same, and even if there is a temperature change, there is almost no deterioration in the linearity of the D/A conversion characteristics due to a deviation in characteristics, that is, stable D/A conversion characteristics can be obtained. . Furthermore, since each element is integrated on the same semiconductor chip, the characteristics can be adjusted by a well-known laser trimming method, etc., making it possible to adjust the characteristics accurately and with high precision.
