    Abstract: Examples include a fluidic die. The fluidic die comprises an array of field effect transistors. Connecting members electrically connect at least some of the field effect transistors of the array of field effect transistors, and the field effect transistors of the array are arranged into respective sets of field effect transistors. The fluidic die further comprises a first fluid actuator connected to a first set of field effect transistors having a first number of field effect transistors. The die includes a second fluid actuator connected to a second respective set of field effect transistors having a second number of field effect transistors that is different than the first number of field effect transistors.

    Abstract: Example implementations relate to current leakage testing of a fluid ejection die. For example, a fluid ejection die may include plurality of nozzles, each nozzle among the plurality of nozzles including a nozzle sensor and a fluid ejector. The plurality of nozzle sensors may comprise a first subset and a second subset, each nozzle sensor among the plurality of nozzle sensors of the first subset may be electrically coupled to a first control line by a respective switch among a first group of switches, and each nozzle sensor among the plurality of nozzle sensors of the second subset may be electrically coupled to a second control line by a respective switch among a second group of switches. The fluid ejection die may include a control circuit to perform a current leakage test of the plurality of nozzles using the first control line and the second control line.

    Abstract: A fluidic die includes a sense architecture having a global sense block to provide an analog reference signal and an array of distributed sense blocks. Each distributed sense block is to receive a same set of addresses via an address bus and each is to receive a corresponding sense enable signal having an enable value or a disable value. Each distributed sense block includes an array of sensors, each sensor corresponding to a different address of the set of addresses and a sample circuit to apply the analog reference signal to the sensor corresponding to the address on the address bus when the corresponding sense enable signal has the enable value, and provide to the global sense block an analog sense signal from the sensor resulting from application of the analog reference signal.

    Abstract: In example implementations, an apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a first low voltage control block, a second low voltage control block, a primitive level shifter coupled to the first low voltage control block, a plurality of nozzle level shifters coupled to the primitive level shifter and a second low voltage control block, and a high side switch (HSS) control coupled to each one of the plurality of nozzle level shifters and the second low voltage control block. The plurality of nozzle level shifters are communicatively coupled to each other. The primitive shifter is to enable a selected nozzle level shifter to fire a respective HSS control circuit of the selected nozzle level shifter and to direct a tail current from the selected nozzle level shifter.
