    Abstract: A fluidic die includes an array of nozzles, each nozzle to eject a fluid drop in response to a corresponding actuation signal having an actuation value. Nozzle select logic provides for each nozzle a nozzle select signal having a select value or a non-select value. Actuation logic provides the respective actuation signal for each nozzle, the actuation logic to receive one or more drop weight signals, and for each nozzle select signal having the select value, to provide an actuation signal having an actuation value to the corresponding nozzle and/or to one or more neighboring nozzles based on a state of the one or more drop weight signals.

    Abstract: A method of operating a printing device during a power loss event includes, with a power loss detection device, detecting an power loss to a number of high voltage devices. The method further includes, with a voltage regulator coupled to printhead fire control circuitry, maintaining a power loss protection supply voltage (VDD_plp) to the printhead fire control circuitry.

    Abstract: A print material level sensor comprises a series of print material level sensing devices disposed at intervals to detect presence of a print material at successive depth zones in a container, wherein each print material level sensing device includes a heater to emit heat at its depth zone and a sensor to sense heat at the depth zone and to output a signal based on the heat sensed. The sensor has control circuitry to, for each print material level sensing device to be calibrated, turn on the heater for an initial time duration set by an initial heat count and iteratively adjust the time duration for which the heater is turned on in accordance with an adjusted heat count, until the signal output from the sensor indicates that a target value has been reached in that depth zone.

    Abstract: In some examples, a fluidic die includes a set of fluid actuators arranged in an order, and a controller to determine, based on input control information relating to controlling actuation of the plurality of fluid actuators, whether a first fluid actuator of the plurality of fluid actuators is to be actuated and whether a second fluid actuator within a specified proximity of the first fluid actuator in the order is to be actuated, and in response to determining that the first fluid actuator is to be actuated and the second fluid actuator within the specified proximity of the first fluid actuator in the order is not to be actuated, activate a delay element associated with the first fluid actuator, the delay element to delay an activation signal propagated to selected fluid actuators of the set of fluid actuators in response to an actuation event.

    Abstract: Example implementations relate to current leakage testing of a fluid ejection die. For example, a fluid ejection die may include plurality of nozzles, each nozzle among the plurality of nozzles including a nozzle sensor and a fluid ejector. The plurality of nozzle sensors may comprise a first subset and a second subset, each nozzle sensor among the plurality of nozzle sensors of the first subset may be electrically coupled to a first control line by a respective switch among a first group of switches, and each nozzle sensor among the plurality of nozzle sensors of the second subset may be electrically coupled to a second control line by a respective switch among a second group of switches. The fluid ejection die may include a control circuit to perform a current leakage test of the plurality of nozzles using the first control line and the second control line.
