Abstract:
A fluidic die including fluid chambers, each including an electrode exposed to an interior of the fluid chamber and each having a corresponding fluid actuator operating at a first voltage level. Monitoring circuitry, operating at a second voltage level lower than the first voltage level, includes a select transistor and a pulldown transistor for each fluid chamber to selectively couple to the electrode, at least the select transistor being a high voltage tolerant transistor to operate at the second voltage in a normal operating condition and having a breakdown voltage level greater than the first voltage level to prevent a fault current from flowing into the select transistor from the electrode in a fault condition if the fluid actuator short-circuits to the electrode.
