Abstract
An integrated circuit to drive a plurality of fluid actuation devices includes a plurality of contact pads, a plurality of pulldown devices, and control logic. The plurality of contact pads include a first contact pad and a second contact pad. Each of the pulldown devices is electrically coupled to a corresponding contact pad. The control logic enables at least a portion of the pulldown devices in response to both a logic low signal on the first contact pad and a logic low signal on the second contact pad.
Claims19
An integrated circuit for a fluid ejection device, the integrated circuit comprising:
- a plurality of contact pads comprising a first contact pad and a second contact pad;
- a first pulldown device coupled to one of the first contact pad or the second contact pad;
- and
- control logic to enable the first pulldown device in response to both a logic low signal on the first contact pad and a logic low signal on the second contact pad.
An integrated circuit for a fluid ejection device, the integrated circuit comprising:
- a plurality of contact pads comprising a logic reset contact pad and a data contact pad;
- a first pulldown device coupled to one of the logic reset contact pad and the data contact pad;
- and
- control logic to enable the first pulldown device in response to both a logic low signal on the logic reset contact pad and a logic low signal on the data contact pad.
