Abstract: In one example, a fluid level sensor includes control logic, and an array of sensing locations to detect a level of fluid in a container. The array of sensing locations include a number of memory cells located at a number of sensing locations in the array of sensing locations, a word line coupled to the memory cells, a bit line coupled to the memory cells, and a pre-charge circuit coupled to the word line and the bit line. The control logic instructs a number FETs coupled to a bit line to disconnect from a number of the memory cells, and power up the memory cells to cause the memory cells to take a first state or a second state. The control logic outputs the state of the memory cells to a processing device. The state of the memory cells defines the level of the fluid in the container.
