Definitions
- Subcomponents of apparatus may communicate with one another in a number of ways. For example, Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) protocol, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Near Field Communications (NFC) or other types of digital or analog communications may be used.
- SPI Serial Peripheral Interface
- BLE Bluetooth Low Energy
- NFC Near Field Communications
- Some two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) printing systems include one or more replaceable print apparatus components, such as print material containers (e.g., inkjet cartridges, toner cartridges, ink supplies, 3D printing agent supplies, build material supplies etc.), inkjet printhead assemblies, and the like.
- print material containers e.g., inkjet cartridges, toner cartridges, ink supplies, 3D printing agent supplies, build material supplies etc.
- logic circuitry associated with the replaceable print apparatus component(s) communicate with logic circuitry of the print apparatus in which they are installed, for example communicating information such as their identity, capabilities, status and the like.
- print material containers may include circuitry to execute one or more monitoring functions such as print material level sensing.
- FIG. 1 illustrates one example of a printing system.
- FIG. 2 illustrates one example of a replaceable print apparatus component.
- FIG. 3 illustrates one example of a print apparatus.
- FIGS. 4A-4E illustrate examples of logic circuitry packages and processing circuitry.
- FIG. 5A illustrates one example arrangement of a fluid level sensor.
- FIG. 5B illustrates a perspective view of one example of a print cartridge.
- FIG. 6 illustrates another example of a logic circuitry package.
- FIG. 7 illustrates another example of a logic circuitry package.
- FIG. 8 is a chart illustrating one example of sensor responses for three different print material levels.
- FIGS. 9A-9C are flow diagrams illustrating example methods that may be carried out by a logic circuitry package.
- FIGS. 10A-10C are flow diagrams illustrating other example methods that may be carried out by a logic circuitry package.
- FIG. 11 illustrates another example of a logic circuitry package.
- Inter-integrated Circuit (I 2 C, or I2C, which notation is adopted herein) protocol allows at least one ‘master’ integrated circuit (IC) to communicate with at least one ‘slave’ IC, for example via a bus.
- I2C, and other communications protocols communicate data according to a clock period. For example, a voltage signal may be generated, where the value of the voltage is associated with data. For example, a voltage value above X volts may indicate a logic “1” whereas a voltage value below X volts may indicate a logic “0”, where X is a predetermined numerical value.
- data can be communicated via a bus or another communication link.
- Certain example print material containers have slave logic that utilize I2C communications, although in other examples, other forms of digital or analog communications could also be used.
- a master IC may generally be provided as part of the print apparatus (which may be referred to as the ‘host’) and a replaceable print apparatus component would comprise a ‘slave’ IC, although this need not be the case in all examples.
- the slave IC(s) may include a processor to perform data operations before responding to requests from logic circuitry of the print system.
- Logic circuitry within a print apparatus may receive information from logic circuitry associated with a replaceable print apparatus component via a communications interface, and/or may send commands to the replaceable print apparatus component logic circuitry, which may include commands to write data to a memory associated therewith, or to read data therefrom.
- logic circuitry associated with a replaceable print apparatus component may include at least one heater and a temperature sensor (e.g., a temperature sensitive resistor) arranged inside a print material reservoir of the replaceable print apparatus component.
- the at least one heater and the temperature sensor may be used to determine the print material level within the print material reservoir.
- a heater command may enable the at least one heater and a sensor command may read the temperature sensor to provide a digital value corresponding to the print material level.
- the logic circuitry package may be associated with a replaceable print apparatus component, for example being internally or externally affixed thereto, for example at least partially within the housing, and is adapted to communicate data with a print apparatus controller via a bus provided as part of the print apparatus.
- a ‘logic circuitry package’ as the term is used herein refers to one logic circuit, or more logic circuits that may be interconnected or communicatively linked to each other. Where more than one logic circuit is provided, these may be encapsulated as a single unit, or may be separately encapsulated, or not encapsulated, or some combination thereof.
- the package may be arranged or provided on a single substrate or a plurality of substrates. In some examples, the package may be directly affixed to a cartridge wall. In some examples, the package may include an interface, for example including pads or pins.
- the package interface may be intended to connect to a communication interface of the print apparatus component that in turn connects to a print apparatus logic circuit, or the package interface may connect directly to the print apparatus logic circuit.
- Example packages may be configured to communicate via a serial bus interface. Where more than one logic circuit is provided, these logic circuits may be connected to each other or to the interface, to communicate through the same interface.

- the sensor IDs may include a combination of addresses and values, for example register addresses and values.

- the second logic circuit may include registers and multiplex circuitry to select sensor cells in response to sensor IDs. In examples where there is only one cell of a certain sensor type, one sensor ID may be sufficient to select that cell. At the same time, for that single sensor cell, different sensor “sub-”IDs will not affect the sensor cell selection because there is only one sensor cell. In this disclosure, sensor ID parameters are described.
- a sensor ID parameter may include a sensor ID.

- the resistance of a resistor cell 414 is linked to its temperature.
- the heater cells 416 may be used to heat the sensor cells 414 directly or indirectly using a medium.
- the subsequent behavior of the sensor cells 414 depends on the medium in which they are submerged, for example whether they are in liquid (or in some examples, encased in a solid medium) or in air. Those which are submerged in liquid/encased may generally lose heat quicker than those which are in air because the liquid or solid may conduct heat away from the resistor cells 414 better than air. Therefore, a liquid level may be determined based on which of the resistor cells 414 are exposed to the air, and this may be determined based on a reading of their resistance following (at least the start of) a heat pulse provided by the associated heater cell 416 .
- temperature sensor cells 414 a - 414 f are used for print material level sensing, whereas other temperature sensors, of a different type, may be used to detect an ambient and/or fluid temperature.
- each sensor cell 414 and heater cell 416 are stacked with one being directly on top of the other.
- the heat generated by each heater cell 416 may be substantially spatially contained within the heater element layout perimeter, so that heat delivery is substantially confined to the sensor cell 414 stacked directly above the heater cell 416 .
- each sensor cell 414 may be arranged between an associated heater cell 416 and the fluid/air interface.
- the second cell array 412 includes a plurality of different cells that may have a different function such as different sensing function(s).

More than two different sensor types may be provided, for example three, four, five or more sensor types, may be provided, wherein each sensor type may be represented by one or more sensor cells.
- Certain cells or cell arrays may function as stimulators (e.g., heaters) or reference cells, rather than as sensors.
