multi-head structure while maintaining or enhancing
print quality. The printing apparatus prints on a
print medium by using N print heads, where N is an
integer equal to or larger than 2, assuming that two
axes orthogonal to each other on a two-dimensional
rectangular coordinate system are set to an X axis and
a Y axis, each of the print heads being capable of
printing M dots in a direction along the Y axis
simultaneously, where M is an integer equal to or
larger than 3, and at the same capable of printing M
dot lines each extending in a direction along the X
axis, by relative scan on the print medium in the
direction along the X axis, the M dot lines being
arranged side by side in the direction along the Y axis.
At least two print heads of the N print heads are
arranged in a manner such that selected ones of the M
dot lines that can be printed by one of the at least
two print heads overlap selected ones of the M dot
lines that can be printed by another of the at least

Inventor: GATTI UMBERTO
IPC: H03M3/00
Filed: 2002-09-17
Abstract: A multi-path time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter (MP-ADC) exploits an
additional reference ADC cyclically connected in parallel to each ADC component part
to be calibrated of the multi-path ADC, which can be of any kind, in particular
sigma-delta, to whom conventional calibration techniques cannot be applied because
of its stochastic behaviour. For each ADC component part the algebraic differences
between successive digital outputs of the reference ADC and the ADC under
calibration are forwarded to an accumulator circuit (13) which integrates them over a
given time slot, obtaining a digital word (CH1',...,CH4') proportional to the difference
between the offset of the two paths. A digital adder adds up the digital word so
obtained to the output of the ADC component part under calibration multiplied by a
scale factor which depends on the length of the given time slot. After a reasonable time
the voltage offset of each individual path is proportional to the voltage offset of the only
reference path, not necessarily zero. Optionally, the outputs of the digital adder are
de-scaled by the same scale factor, restoring the original value. The time-interleaved
ADC is continuously running and the voltage offset calibration is performed in
background without affecting the normal operation  (fig.7) .
