    Abstract: In one example, a fault-tolerant printhead includes an array of fluid actuators. Each fluid actuator includes a fault sensor to detect a faulted fluid actuator and a per-fluid actuator memory to store a fault sensor state of the fluid actuator. The fault-tolerant printhead also includes an interface to read a state of each per-fluid actuator memory.

    Abstract: In some examples, a fluidic die includes a plurality of fluid actuators to cause ejection of fluid towards a target, an actuation data register to store actuation data that indicates each fluid actuator of the plurality of fluid actuators to actuate, and a controller to use different drop weight patterns and actuation data in the actuation data register to dispense fluid of different drop weights using the plurality of fluid actuators. Each drop weight pattern of the different drop weight patterns indicates a respective set of fluid actuators of the plurality of fluid actuators enabled for actuation, and a first drop weight pattern of the different drop weight patterns corresponding to a first drop weight, and a second drop weight pattern of the different drop weight patterns corresponding to a second drop weight different from the first drop weight.

    Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a fluid ejection die is described. The die includes a number of actuators to manipulate fluid. The actuators are disposed on the fluid ejection die and are grouped as primitives on the fluid ejection die. The fluid ejection die also includes a number of actuators sensors disposed on the fluid ejection die. The nozzle sensors receive a sense voltage indicative of a state of corresponding actuators. Each actuator sensor is coupled to a respective actuator. The fluid ejection die also includes an actuator evaluation device per primitive, which actuator evaluation device is disposed on the fluid ejection die. The actuator evaluation device evaluates an actuator characteristic of any actuator within the primitive and generates an output indicative of a failing actuator of the fluid ejection die.

    Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a fluid ejection die is described. The die includes a number of actuator sensors disposed on the fluid ejection die to sense a characteristic of a corresponding actuator and to output a first voltage corresponding to the sensed characteristic. Each actuator sensor is coupled to a respective actuator and multiple coupled actuator sensors and actuators are grouped as primitives on the fluid ejection die. The die also includes an actuator evaluation die per primitive to evaluate an actuator characteristic of any actuator within the primitive Based on the first voltage and a threshold voltage. The die also includes a time-shift chain component to communicate a delayed evaluation signal, which delayed evaluation signal delays an evaluation of the actuator characteristic a predetermined amount of time following an activation event.
