Claim 8:
9. The droplet discharging apparatus according to claim 8, further comprising a control circuit configured to:
read the plurality of data values of the first data and the plurality of data values of the second data from the first memory, and output first time division multiplex data, in which the plurality of data values of the first data and the plurality of data values of the second data from the first memory are aligned in time series, to the first digital-analog converter;
read the plurality of data values of the third data and the plurality of data values of the fourth data from the second memory, and output second time division multiplex data, in which the plurality of data values of the first data and the plurality of data values of the second data from the second memory are aligned in time series, to the second digital-analog converter;
input, into the first switch and the third switch, a first selection signal configured to select any one of the first switch and the third switch, and a first synchronization signal configured to indicate an opening-closing timing of a selected one of the first switch and the third switch; and
input, into the second switch and the fourth switch, a second selection signal configured to select any one of the second switch and the fourth switch and a second synchronization signal configured to indicate an opening-closing timing of a selected one of the second switch and the fourth switch; wherein
the first digital-analog converter is configured to convert the first time division multiplex data outputted from the control circuit into an analog signal to generate the first time division multiplex signal, and configured to output the first time division multiplex signal to the first separator;
the second digital-analog converter is configured to convert the second time division multiplex data outputted from the control circuit into an analog signal to generate the second time division multiplex signal, and configured to output the second time division multiplex signal to the second separator;
based on the first selection signal and the first synchronization signal outputted from the control circuit, the first switch is configured to open and close to separate the first driving waveform signal or the second driving waveform signal from the first time division multiplex signal outputted from the first digital-analog converter or the third switch is configured to open and close to separate the third driving waveform signal or the fourth driving waveform signal from the second time division multiplex signal outputted from the second digital-analog converter; and
based on the second selection signal and the second synchronization signal outputted from the control circuit, the second switch is configured to open and close to separate the first driving waveform signal or the second driving waveform signal from the first time division multiplex signal outputted from the first digital-analog converter or the fourth switch is configured to open and close to separate the third driving waveform signal or the fourth driving waveform signal from the second time division multiplex signal outputted from the second digital-analog converter.
