  • Patent number: 9776397
    Abstract: Addressing an EPROM on a printhead is described. In an example, a printhead includes an electronically programmable read-only memory (EPROM) having a bank of cells arranged in rows and columns, each of the cells having a addressing port, a row select port, and a column select port. A conductor is coupled to the addressing portion of each of the cells. A shift register circuit is coupled to at least one of the row select port and the column select port of each of the cells, the shift register circuit storing samples of an input signal responsive to a plurality of clock signals. A decoder is coupled to the shift register circuit to provide the input signal based on a logical combination of a plurality of data signals and at least a portion of the clock signals.
