Abstract :
A smart BiCMOS (bipolar complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) driver for 400 DPI (dot/inch) thermal printing heads has been developed using a dot-history-control circuit, a high-voltage BiCMOS process, and solder-bump electrode bonding. Thermal printing heads with a printing speed of 1000 line/s, resolution of 400 DPI, and a substrate only 12.7 mm wide have been realized
