    Abstract: In some examples, a fluid dispensing device includes a plurality of fluidic actuators and a decoder to detect that a first fluidic actuator is to be activated, and detect that a sense measurement is to be performed. In response to detecting that the first fluidic actuator is to be activated and the sense measurement is to be performed, the decoder is to suppress activation of the first fluidic actuator at a first time, and activate the first fluidic actuator at a second time corresponding to a sense measurement interval to perform the sense measurement of the first fluidic actuator.

    Abstract: A fluidic die includes primitives arranged to form a number of primitive zones, each primitive zone including a memory to store adjustment data, and at least one signal adjuster to receive a fire signal, and to adjust the received fire signal based on the stored adjustment data to provide an adjusted fire signal to each primitive of the primitive zone. The fluidic die includes an address bus and a set of data lines, each data line corresponding to a different one of the primitives. Mode circuitry directs address data from the address bus to each primitive and print data from each data line to the corresponding primitive when a mode signal has a first value, and directs data representing adjustment data from one of the address bus and the set of data lines to at least one of the memories when the mode signal has a second value.

    Abstract: Examples include a fluidic die. The fluidic die comprises a plurality of fluid actuators arranged in respective sets of fluid actuators. The fluidic die further includes a plurality of fluidic sensors, where the fluidic sensors are arranged in respective sets, and each respective fluidic sensor is disposed proximate a respective fluid actuator. The fluidic die further comprises a plurality of current sources including a respective current source for each respective set of fluidic sensors. Furthermore, the fluidic die comprises a fluidic sensor test node. For each respective set of fluidic sensors, the fluidic die comprises respective fluidic sensor test logic, where the respective fluidic sensor test logic for each respective set of fluidic sensors is coupled between the respective current source and the fluidic sensor test node to selectively connect each respective current source to the fluidic sensor test node.

    Abstract: Examples include a fluidic die. The fluidic die may comprise an array of fluid actuators, an actuation data register, a mask register, and actuation logic. The actuation data register may store actuation data that indicates fluid ejectors to actuate for a set of actuation events. The mask register may store mask data that indicates a set of fluid actuators enabled for actuation for a respective actuation event of the set of actuation events. The actuation logic may electrically actuate a subset of the fluid actuators based at least in part on the actuation data register and the mask register for the respective actuation event.

    Abstract: In some examples, a fluid die includes a fluid nozzle, a first latch, a second latch, and a timing circuit comprising a counter and a comparator. The timing circuit is to trigger the first latch, at a first predetermined time instant from an edge of a firing pulse, to store a first test result obtained based on a voltage measured across the fluid nozzle, and trigger the second latch, at a second predetermined time instant from the edge of the firing pulse, to store a second test result obtained based on a voltage measured across the fluid nozzle.
