    Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a fluid ejection device is described. The fluid ejection device includes a number of nozzles to eject an amount of fluid. A first field-effect transistor (FET) activates a first fluidic operation component and a second FET activates a second fluidic operation component. The first FET and the second FET are selected from among a high-side switch FET, a low-side switch FET, and a hybrid FET and the first FET and the second FET are different from one another.

    Abstract: In some examples, a fluid ejection device includes a nozzle to dispense fluid, and a recirculation controller to control recirculating of the nozzle. The recirculation controller is to receive, from a fluid ejection controller, an indication corresponding to a start of a sampling time interval, determine, during the sampling time interval, whether a firing event corresponding to firing of the nozzle has occurred, and in response to determining that the firing event has not occurred, cause activation of a recirculation pump to recirculate fluid through a chamber of the nozzle.

    Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a fluidic die is described. The fluidic die includes an array of firing subassemblies grouped into zones. Each firing subassembly includes 1) a firing chamber, 2) a fluid actuator, and 3) a sensor plate. The fluidic die also includes a measurement device per zone to measure a voltage indicative of an impedance within a selected firing chamber. The fluidic die includes a selector per firing subassembly to couple a selected sensor plate to the measurement device. A selector is adjacent a respective firing subassembly and a distance between the selector and the measurement device is different as compared to other selectors.

    Abstract: A microfluidic device may include a fluid channel defined in a substrate, an impedance sensor positioned within the fluid channel, and control logic. The control logic may force a current into the impedance sensor to sense an impedance at the location of the impedance sensor, the sensed impedance defining whether the fluid within the fluid channel is at the location of the impedance sensor, and instruct a pump device to apply a back pressure on the fluid to maintain the fluid upstream from the impedance sensor in response to a determination that the sensed impedance indicates that the fluid is located at the location of the impedance sensor.

    Abstract: Examples of a fluidic die for thermal zone selection with a sequencer and decoders are described herein. In some examples, the fluidic die includes multiple thermal zones. Each thermal zone includes a temperature sensor, a fluidic actuator and a decoder. The fluidic die also includes shared thermal control circuitry to process an output of the temperature sensor in a selected thermal zone. The fluidic die further includes a sequencer to output a sequence state to select one thermal zone at a time for processing by the shared thermal control circuitry. The decoder of the selected thermal zone decodes the sequence state.

    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.
