Abstract:
An arrangement and method for accommodating a reversible connector in a device that does not require the use of a controller or firmware comprises detection circuitry for detection of an orientation of an external connector connected to the reversible connector. Two switches allow to connect electrical wiring of the device to either one of a set of pins of the reversible connector according to the detected orientation. The switches operate independently and each comprise separate detection circuitry.

Claim (Index 7):
A method for coupling electrical wiring of a device to a reversible connector of said device for reversibly connecting either a first set of connector contacts of said reversible connector or a second set of connector contacts of said reversible connector to said electrical wiring according to an orientation of an external connector for connecting to said reversible connector, said method comprising:\n first detection of a presence of a feature of a signal applied to at least one of said first set of connector contacts and second detection of a presence of a signal applied to at least one of said second set of connector contacts; generation of a first enable signal in response to said first detection and generation of a second enable signal in response to said second detection; in response to said first enable signal, setting of a first switch from a disconnected position in which no contact is made between said first set of connector contacts to a connected position in which contact is made between said first set of connector contacts and said electrical wiring, and in response to said second enable signal, setting of a second switch from a disconnected position in which no contact is made between said second set of connector contacts to a connected position in which contact is made between said second set of connector contacts and said electrical wiring.
