    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.

    Abstract: A fluid ejection device may include a substrate, a first group of fluid drivers on the substrate, a second group of fluid drivers on the substrate, a memory element storing a predetermined offset value and electronics to receive an address of one of the fluid drivers of the first group for actuation control. The electronics may select one of the fluid drivers of the second group for actuation control based on the address and the stored offset value.

    Abstract: In some examples, a fluid ejection device includes a nozzle to dispense fluid, and a recirculation controller to control recirculating of the nozzle. The recirculation controller is to receive, from a fluid ejection controller, an indication corresponding to a start of a sampling time interval, determine, during the sampling time interval, whether a firing event corresponding to firing of the nozzle has occurred, and in response to determining that the firing event has not occurred, cause activation of a recirculation pump to recirculate fluid through a chamber of the nozzle.

    Abstract: A multi-directional single pass printing apparatus may include a print head comprising a collection of slots. The collection of slots may include a central slot for delivering a central slot fluid type, a first serial arrangement of first slots on a first side of the central slot to deliver a first series of respective fluid types and a second serial arrangement of second slots on a second side of the central slot opposite the first side. The second series of slots are to deliver a second series of respective fluid types, wherein the second series of respective fluid types mirror the first series of respective fluid types with respect to the central slot fluid type.

    Abstract: A fluid ejection device including a plurality of primitives each having a same set of addresses and including a plurality of fluid chambers, each fluid chamber corresponding to a different address of the set of addresses and including a firing mechanism. Input logic receives a series of fire pulse groups, each fire pulse group corresponding to an address of the set of addresses and including warming data having an enable value or a disable value and a series of firing bits, each firing bit corresponding to a different primitive and having a firing value or a non-firing value. For each firing bit of each fire pulse group, when the warming data has the enable value, activation logic provides a warming pulse to the firing mechanism of the fluid chamber corresponding to the firing bit when the firing bit has the non-firing value.
