SIGNAL TRANSFER CONTROL METHOD, SIGNAL TRANSFER APPARATUS, AND TEST SYSTEM AND PLATFORM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18464913 titled 'SIGNAL TRANSFER CONTROL METHOD, SIGNAL TRANSFER APPARATUS, AND TEST SYSTEM AND PLATFORM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a signal transfer apparatus that includes multiple switches connected between two terminal groups. A control module determines which switches need to be turned on and sends a control signal to a drive circuit. The drive circuit then activates the target switches, connecting signal paths between the terminals.
- The apparatus includes multiple switches connected in series between two terminal groups.
- A control module determines which switches need to be turned on based on the apparatus connection setting.
- A control signal is sent to a drive circuit to activate the target switches.
- The drive circuit drives the target switches to connect signal paths between the terminals.
Potential Applications
- Signal transfer in electronic devices and systems.
- Circuit switching in telecommunications networks.
- Data routing in computer networks.
Problems Solved
- Efficient and controlled signal transfer between terminal groups.
- Simplified management of signal paths.
- Flexibility in configuring and adjusting signal connections.
Benefits
- Improved signal transfer efficiency.
- Enhanced control and management of signal paths.
- Increased flexibility in configuring signal connections.
- Potential for cost savings in signal routing and switching.
Original Abstract Submitted
This application relates to a signal transfer apparatus. In the apparatus, one of a plurality of switches is connected in series between a first end of each of first terminals in a first terminal group and a first end of each of second terminals in a second terminal group; a control module determines, from the plurality of switches based on apparatus connection setting, a plurality of target switches that need to be turned on, and sends a control signal for turning on the plurality of target switches to a drive circuit; and the drive circuit is connected to both the plurality of switches and the control module, and drives, based on the received control signal, the plurality of target switches to be turned on, so that signal paths between the first terminals and the second terminals that are connected to the target switches are connected.
