  • Publication number: 20230382105
    Abstract: A memory circuit for a print component including a plurality of I/O pads, including an analog pad, to connect to a plurality of signal paths which communicate operating signals to the print component. The memory circuit includes a controllable selector connected in line with one of the signal paths via the I/O pads, the selector controllable to disconnect the corresponding signal path to the print component, and a memory component to store memory values associated with the print component. A control circuit, in response to a sequence of operating signals received by the I/O pads representing a memory read, to operate the controllable selector to disconnect the signal path to the print component to block the memory read of the print component, and provide an analog signal to the analog pad to provide an analog electrical value at the analog pad representing stored memory values selected by the memory read.

  • Patent number: 11642883
    Abstract: In some examples, a circuit includes a data line, an input line, a first memory element, and a decoder to receive an address and to enable the first memory element for access in response to the address. The selector is responsive to the data line to select the first memory element, where the selector is to select the first memory element responsive to the data line having a first value, and where the data line is to communicate data of a second memory element in response to the second memory element being enabled for access. The input line is to communicate data of the first memory element in response to the first memory element being selected by the selector.
