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 1):
An electronic device comprising:\n a plurality of switches configured to couple electrical wiring to contacts of a reversible connector 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; first enable circuitry coupled to at least one of the first set of connector contacts and second enable circuitry coupled to at least one of the second set of connector contacts; the first enable circuitry being configured to generate a first enable signal to a first switch of said plurality of switches in response to a presence of a feature of a signal received on said at least one of the first set of connector contacts, and the second enable circuitry being configured to generate a second enable signal to a second switch of said plurality of switches in response to a presence of a feature of a signal received on said at least one of the second set of connector contacts; the first and the second switches being in a disconnected state, in which no contact is made between either set of connector contacts and said electrical wiring, when none of said first and said second enable signals is generated by either of said first and said second enable circuitry; the first switch being configured to switch to a connected state, in which said first set of connector contacts are coupled to said electrical wiring, in response to said first enable signal; and the second switch being configured to switch to a connected state in which said second set of connector contacts are coupled to said electrical wiring, in response to said second enable signal.
