  • Publication number: 20070097178
    Abstract: A fluid ejection device includes a first fire line, a second fire line, data lines, latch circuitry, first drop generators, and second drop generators. The first fire line is adapted to conduct a first energy signal including first energy pulses and the second fire line is adapted to conduct a second energy signal including second energy pulses. The data lines are adapted to conduct data signals that represent an image and the latch circuitry is configured to latch the data signals to provide latched data signals based on at least one clock signal. The first drop generators are configured to respond to the first energy signal to eject fluid based on the latched data signals and the second drop generators are configured to respond to the second energy signal to eject fluid based on the latched data signals.

  • Publication number: 20050248622
    Abstract: Devices, methodologies, and other embodiments associated with fluid ejection devices are described. One exemplary embodiment includes a fluid ejection device that comprises a plurality of firing cells configured to eject fluid when activated. The firing cells can be grouped into firing groups of firing cells including a first fire group and a second fire group. A circuit can be provided that is configured to activate selected firing cells where the circuit is configured to respond to activation signals including a first fire pulse to activate the firing cells of the first fire group and a second fire pulse to activate the firing cells of the second fire group. The circuit can also be configured to activate the first fire group and the second fire group to eject fluid overlapping in time.

  • Publication number: 20050231540
    Abstract: A fluid ejection device comprises a first fire line adapted to conduct a first energy signal comprising energy pulses, a second fire line adapted to conduct a second energy signal comprising energy pulses, a first address generator configured to provide first address signals, a second address generator configured to provide second address signals, first drop generators and second drop generators. The first drop generators are electrically coupled to the first fire line and configured to respond to the first energy signal to eject fluid based on the first address signals. The second drop generators are electrically coupled to the second fire line and configured to respond to the second energy signal to eject fluid based on the second address signals.
