Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an inkjet printhead having a plurality of drop generators that selectively eject ink in response to activation. The inkjet printhead includes first and second drop generators disposed on the printhead. Each of the first and second drop generators are configured for connection to a source of drive current. The inkjet printhead also includes a control device configured for connection to a periodic address signal and first and second periodic enable signals. The control device is responsive to the first periodic enable signal and periodic address signal for enabling the first drop generator for activation in response to drive current. The control device is responsive to the second periodic enable signal and periodic address signal for enabling the second drop generator for activation in response to drive current.
