Abstract

An electronic control unit includes a housing and an interface extending across the housing including a plurality of interface pins accessible at an exterior of the housing and at an interior of the housing. A circuit board is disposed in the housing. A plurality of conductive traces are operatively coupled with the circuit board and extending between a plurality of discrete component footprints. A microcontroller is positioned on the microcontroller footprint and includes an input pin conductively coupled with a first conductive trace. An input terminal positioned on the input terminal footprint and conductively coupled with a second conductive trace and one of the plurality of interface pins. A flexible input signal conditioning (FISC) circuit comprising a plurality of discrete components positioned on respective discrete component footprints and conductively coupled with respective sets of the plurality of conductive traces.
