Abrégé

Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed detection circuitry including an inductor and a capacitor; and controller circuitry coupled to the detection circuitry, the controller circuitry configured to: generate a voltage pulse; supply the voltage pulse to the detection circuitry; monitor a characteristic of a detection output of the detection circuitry in response to the voltage pulse; determine a variation in the detection output based on a comparison of the characteristic of the detection output to a threshold value; and determine a type of connector in proximity to the detection circuitry based on the variation.
