    Abstract: In some examples, a fluidic die includes an arrangement of fluidic elements to dispense a fluid, where each fluidic element of the fluidic elements includes a fluidic actuator and a fluid chamber. The fluidic die includes an array of fluid feed holes in a plurality of dimensions to communicate the fluid with the fluidic elements, where each of multiple fluid feed holes along a first dimension of the plurality of dimensions is distinct from multiple fluid feed holes along a second dimension of the plurality of dimensions. The fluidic die includes circuit elements interspersed in regions between the fluidic elements along different axes of the fluidic die, where each circuit element of the circuit elements includes an active device. The fluidic elements and the circuit elements are formed on a common substrate.

    Abstract: A fluid-ejection printhead includes a sparse array of fluid-ejection nozzles through which fluid is ejected onto dot rows parallel to a scan axis of the fluidejection printhead. The fluid is ejected by more than one fluid-ejection nozzle of the sparse array onto each dot row. The fluid-ejection printhead includes fluidejection element. Each element can correspond to a pair of the fluid-ejection nozzles through which the fluid is ejected onto a same dot row and include a corresponding pair of fluid-ejection actuators. Each element can instead correspond to one of the fluid-ejection nozzles and include one fluid-ejection actuator.

    Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a fluidic die is described. The fluidic die includes an array of firing subassemblies grouped into zones. Each firing subassembly includes 1) a firing chamber, 2) a fluid actuator, and 3) a sensor plate. The fluidic die also includes a measurement device per zone to measure a voltage indicative of an impedance within a selected firing chamber. The fluidic die includes a selector per firing subassembly to couple a selected sensor plate to the measurement device. A selector is adjacent a respective firing subassembly and a distance between the selector and the measurement device is different as compared to other selectors.

    Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a fluidic die is described. The fluidic die includes an array of fluid actuators grouped into primitives. Each actuator is disposed in a fluid chamber. The fluidic die also includes an array of fluid sensors. Each fluid sensor is disposed within a fluid chamber and determines a characteristic within the fluid chamber. A data parser of the fluidic die extracts from an incoming signal, firing instructions and measurement instructions for the fluidic die. The measurement instructions indicate at least one of a peak measurement during a nucleation event and a reference measurement during a non-nucleation event. A firing controller generates firing signals based on the firing instructions and a measurement controller activates, during a measurement interval of a printing cycle for the primitive, a measurement for a selected actuator based on the measurement instructions.

    Abstract: In some examples, a system includes a device support to receive a fluid dispensing device, and a controller to identify, based on data controlling activation of fluidic actuators, a fluidic actuator that is to be activated in a first activation cycle of a group of activation cycles that correspond to activation intervals of respective fluidic actuators of a group of fluidic actuators of the fluid dispensing device, the identified fluidic actuator being part of the group of fluidic actuators. To perform a sense measurement for the identified fluidic actuator, the controller suppresses activation of the identified fluidic actuator in the first activation cycle, and causes activation of the identified fluidic actuator in a sense measurement cycle different from the first activation cycle, the sense measurement cycle being part of the group of activation cycles.

    Abstract: Examples include a fluidic die. The fluidic die may comprise an array of fluid actuators, an actuation data register, a mask register, and actuation logic. The actuation data register may store actuation data that indicates fluid ejectors to actuate for a set of actuation events. The mask register may store mask data that indicates a set of fluid actuators enabled for actuation for a respective actuation event of the set of actuation events. The actuation logic may electrically actuate a subset of the fluid actuators based at least in part on the actuation data register and the mask register for the respective actuation event.
