Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing a printed circuit board assembly comprising: selectively configuring conductive traces coupled to a pattern of electrical contacts on a printed circuit board according to a communications link type associated with a device received by a connector coupled to the pattern, wherein the conductive traces are capable of being configured to couple the pattern of electrical contacts to a second pattern of electrical contacts according to a first communications link type and capable of being configured to couple the pattern to the second pattern according to a second communications link type, wherein the selectively configuring comprises configuring at least one analog switch to couple a conductive trace of the conductive traces to one of a resistive path and a path including a capacitor, and wherein the selectively configuring further comprises closing a first analog switch of the at least one analog switch, the first analog switch being in the resistive path, and opening a second analog switch of the at least one analog switch, the second analog switch being in the path including the capacitor.
