Switchable feedback damping of drop-on-demand piezoelectric fluid-ejection mechanism
Abstract:
A control circuit for a drop-on-demand piezoelectric fluid-ejection mechanism includes a drive and sense circuit, and a switch. The drive and sense circuit has an input, a drive output, and a sense output. The drive output is to be coupled to the drop-on-demand piezoelectric fluid-ejection mechanism. The switch is to switch the input of the drive and sense circuit between a feed-forward driving mode of the drive and sense circuit and a feedback damping mode of the drive and sense circuit. In the feed-forward driving mode, the switch is to couple the input to a drive waveform to cause the fluid-ejection mechanism to eject a drop of fluid. In the feedback damping mode, the switch is to couple the input to the sense output to dampen the fluid-ejection mechanism after the fluid-ejection mechanism has ejected the drop of fluid.
