Abstract:
1. A dynamically reconfigurable electrical interface (“DREI”) for processing received interface signals comprising: a first switch configured to receive an input signal received at the DREI and route the input signal; a signal conditioning path unit receiving the input signal and adapted to alter electrical characteristics of the input signal, the signal conditioning path unit producing a first modified input signal based on the input signal; a second switch configured to receive the first modified input signal at an input port, the second switch configured to route the first modified signal at the input port to an output port based on a switch control instruction; an amplifier configured to receive the first modified input signal from the output port, the amplifier configured to adjust a voltage level of the first modified input signal to produce a second modified input signal; an analog to digital converter (“ADC”) configured to receive the second modified input signal, the ADC providing a first numerical value based on the second modified input signal; a processor configured to receive the first numerical value, wherein the processor unit is configured to ascertain a message of a communications protocol associated with the received interface signals; a digital-to-analog converter (“DAC”) configured to receive a second numerical value from the processor and generate an output voltage level; and a second amplifier configured to receive the output voltage level and generate in response an amplified output voltage level, wherein the second switch is configured to receive the amplified output voltage level at another input port and provide the amplified output voltage at another output port, wherein the signal conditioning path unit is adapted to provide a corresponding output signal to the first switch, and wherein the first switch provides the output signal at an output interface.
