Abstract:
1. An apparatus, comprising: a printed circuit board having a plurality of traces, the plurality of traces including a first set of traces including four traces, the first set of traces defining a universal serial bus by defining a power trace, a ground trace, a first data signal and a second data signal, the first set of traces being routed between a first connector site and an interface circuitry site; the first set of traces being also routed between a second connector site and the interface circuitry site, the plurality of traces also including a second set of traces including two traces, the second set of traces defining extended signals of the universal serial bus by including traces for a reset signal and a write protect signal, the second set of traces being routed between the second connector site and the interface circuitry site, wherein the first connector site and the second connector site are spaced apart from one another, further comprising a connector connected to the first connector site, the connector including conductors coupled to the first set of traces.
