摘要： Printheads configured to operate in accordance with a plurality of print modes. For example, one of the plurality of print modes can be selected in accordance with a bit of address data received by the printhead. In an exemplary embodiment, the selection of print mode can be accomplished by switching one or more actuator (e.g., heater) circuit addresses on the printhead.

摘要： An inkjet printhead heater chip includes a resistor layer, a dielectric layer on the resistor layer and a cavitation layer on the dielectric layer. A grounded-gate MOSFET electrically attaches to the cavitation layer to protect the dielectric layer from breakdown during an electrostatic discharge (ESD) event. Protection typically embodies the safe distribution of ESD current to ground during user printhead installation. Locations of the grounded-gate MOSFET(s) include terminal ends of one or more columns of ink ejecting elements formed by the resistor layer. Also, the MOSFET source electrically connects to the gate while the drain attaches to the cavitation layer. The drain attaches via first and second metallization lines, including attachment generally above the cavitation layer. The dielectric layer is diamond like carbon layer and is about 2000 angstroms thick. Inkjet printheads and printers are also disclosed.

摘要： Power is provided from one portion of a printer, such as a printer electronics module, to another portion of the printer, such as a printhead. Logic signals produced in a first electronic module of the printer are transmitted to a second electronics module of the printer. A power signal is derived from the logic signals without interfering with the magnitude or duration of logic signals, and the logic power signal is applied to power the second electronic module without having a separate dedicated power line.

摘要： A micro-fluid ejecting device includes a semiconductor substrate, a plurality of fluid ejection elements formed on the semiconductor substrate, and a plurality of nonvolatile programmable memory devices for storing information related to the operation of the micro-fluid ejecting device. The programmable memory devices, which are at least partially embedded in the semiconductor substrate, each include a source region and a drain region formed in the semiconductor substrate. The source and drain regions have a conductivity type which is opposite the conductivity type of the semiconductor substrate. An insulative layer is formed on the semiconductor substrate over the source region and drain region. A floating gate region is formed on the insulative layer and is spatially disposed between the source region and drain region. The floating gate region is electrically insulated from the source and drain regions by the insulative layer. Electrical contacts are connected to the source region and the drain region. The programmable memory devices collectively provide a high density of memory bits embedded on the substrate for storing information about the micro-fluid ejecting device.
