Liquid ejecting apparatus and drive signal generation circuit

Abstract

A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a drive circuit that outputs a drive signal, a piezoelectric element that includes a first electrode to which the drive signal is supplied and a second electrode to which a reference voltage signal is supplied and that is displaced by a potential difference between the first electrode and the second electrode, a cavity that is filled with a liquid ejected from a nozzle according to the displacement of the piezoelectric element, a vibration plate that is provided between the cavity and the piezoelectric element, a detection circuit that detects whether or not a voltage variation of the drive signal is within a predetermined range, and a determination circuit that determines whether or not the drive signal is normal based on a detection result of the detection circuit.
