[0023] Referring to Figs. 1-3 According to one aspect of the present application, the present application provides a non-polar I 2 C bus printing consumable chip, wherein the non-polar I 2 The C bus printing consumable chip comprises:
[0024] A substrate 1, one side of the substrate 1 is provided with a connecting area, and the other side of the substrate 1 is provided with a mounting area;
[0025] The connecting area is provided with a first contact 2, a second contact 3, a third contact 4 and a fourth contact 5, and the substrate 1 is connected with the signal spring sheet of the printing device through the first contact 2, the second contact 3, the third contact 4 and the fourth contact 5; The mounting area is provided with a main control unit 6, a first power supply circuit and a second power supply circuit; the first power supply circuit is connected with the first contact 2, the main control unit 6 and the fourth contact 5 respectively, and the second power supply circuit is connected with the fourth contact 5, the main control unit 6 and the first contact 2 respectively; wherein the first contact 2 is the chip contact 1, the second contact 3 is the chip contact 2, the third contact 4 is the chip contact 3, and the fourth contact 5 is the chip contact 4.
[0026] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the first power supply circuit comprises a diode D1 and a diode D2; the anode of the diode D1 is connected with the first contact 2, the cathode of the diode D1 is connected with the VDD pin of the main control unit 6, the VSS pin of the main control unit 6 is connected with the anode of the diode D2, and the cathode of the diode D2 is connected with the fourth contact 5.

The conduction of diodes D1 and D2 provides power to the main control unit 6; the second contact 3 is connected to the printing device I 2 The clock signal SCL of the C bus is connected via a spring contact, and the third contact 4 is connected to the printing device I. 2 The C bus data signal SDA spring contact is connected; when device I 2 When the C signal is transmitted to the chip, it triggers the SCL1 and SDA1 interfaces of the main control unit 6 to be valid. The other set of interfaces, SCL2 and SDA2, of the main control unit 6 are detected by signal reversal. 2 The C signal is invalid because it does not conform to the protocol rules. At this time, the SCL1 and SDA1 interfaces serve as communication pins of the main control unit 6, receiving command signals transmitted from the printing device through the second contact 3 and the third contact 4. The main control unit 6 processes the commands and uses the SDA1 interface to send the relevant processing result signals back to the printing device through the third contact 4.

Meanwhile, the SCL1 and SDA1 interfaces of the other main control unit 6 detect I due to signal reversal. 2 The C signal is invalid because it does not conform to the protocol rules. At this time, SCL2 and SDA2 serve as the communication interface of the main control unit 6. They receive the command signals transmitted by the printing device through the second contact 3 and the third contact 4. The main control unit 6 processes the command and uses the SDA2 interface to send the relevant processing results back to the printing device through the second contact 3. The consumable chip works normally.
