Claim 0:
1. A replaceable print head cartridge, comprising:
an integrated circuitry having a print head die with an array of nozzles to discharge ink;
a plurality of temperature sensors disposed in a plurality of temperature regions of the integrated circuitry and selectable via one or more selection bits;
a plurality of heating elements disposed in the plurality of temperature regions of the integrated circuitry, wherein at least one of the plurality of temperature sensors is located between at least one of the array of nozzles and at least one of the plurality of heating elements, wherein a difference between a first distance value, between the at least one of the plurality of temperature sensors and the at least one of the array of nozzles, and a second distance value, between the at least one of the plurality of heating elements and the at least one of the array of nozzles, is within a threshold range of values;
an analog sense bus conductively connected to all of the temperature sensors;
a print controller contact; and
a single external sensor pad conductively connecting the bus to the contact to multiplex responses from the temperature sensors received on the bus.
