Abstract
An assembly (20) is used with an anti-lock braking system (10). The assembly (20) includes electronic circuitry (30) for the anti-lock braking system (10), a plurality of solenoid coil devices (70) for the anti-lock braking system (10), and a serial drive component (101). The serial drive component (101) electrically interconnects the electronic circuitry (30) and the plurality of solenoid coil devices (70). The serial drive component (101) takes input from a first number of interconnection points of the plurality of solenoid coil devices (70) and providing output to a second number of interconnection points of the electronic circuitry (30). The first number is greater than the second number.
