Abstract:
An inkjet print head includes data signal lines configured to supply inkjet control voltages and non-volatile memory cell random access addresses. The inkjet print head includes an inkjet nozzle array wherein each nozzle in the array is configured to communicate with a data signal line. Also a non-volatile attribute memory cell array is included in the inkjet print head wherein each memory cell in the array is accessed through a data signal line shared with the nozzle array.
Abstract:
A printhead assembly for an inkjet-printing device includes a printhead die and a flexible circuit connected to the printhead die. The printhead die includes a substrate, a first ground network electrically connected to the substrate, a device layer, and a second ground network electrically connected to the device layer. The first ground network and the second ground network are electrically isolated from one another within the printhead die. The first ground network and the second ground network are electrically connected to one another at the flexible circuit.

Abstract:
In some examples, an ink level sensor includes a sense capacitor between a first node and ground, a first switch to couple a first voltage to the first node and charge the sense capacitor, a second switch to couple the first node with a second node and share the charge between the sense capacitor and a reference capacitor, causing a second voltage at the second node, and a transistor having a drain, a gate coupled to the second node, and a source coupled to ground, the transistor to provide a drain to source resistance in proportion to the second voltage.
Abstract:
In an embodiment, a fluid ejection device includes an ink slot formed in a printhead die. The fluid ejection device also includes a printhead-integrated ink level sensor (PILS) to sense an ink level of a chamber in fluid communication with the slot, and a clearing resistor circuit disposed within the chamber to clear the chamber of ink.
Abstract:
In some examples, a method of sensing an ink level includes applying a pre-charge voltage to a sense capacitor to charge the sense capacitor with a charge, sharing the charge between the sense capacitor and a reference capacitor, causing a reference voltage at a gate of an evaluation transistor, and determining a resistance from a drain to a source of the evaluation transistor that results from the reference voltage.
