Voltage regulator for low side switch gate control
Abstract:
A fluidic die may include a fluid actuator comprising an electrical resistor, a power node to supply electrical current to the resistor to drive the fluid actuator, a low side switch transistor connected to a ground node and having a gate to control the flow of electrical current through the resistor, a voltage regulator to receive electrical power from the power node and to output a predetermined voltage and a level shifter to control to output a low side switch transistor gate drive voltage using the predetermined voltage and based upon control signals to control the gate to control fluid displacement by the fluid actuator. The predetermined voltage is greater than a voltage of the control signals and is independent of a resistance of the ground node.
