1. An electric power signal conditioning and drive-sense circuit (DSC) sensing system, the system comprising:
an electric power conditioning module operably coupled to receive an electrical power signal and to generate a conditioned electric power signal, wherein, when enabled, the electric power conditioning module operably coupled and configured to perform one or more adaptation operations on the electrical power signal to generate the conditioned electric power signal based on control signaling provided by one or more processing modules;
a drive-sense circuit (DSC) operably coupled as a sensor to monitor the conditioned electric power signal, wherein, when enabled, the DSC operably coupled and configured to:
sense the conditioned electric power signal via a single line;
detect an effect on the conditioned electric power signal that is based on the one or more adaptation operations that is performed on the electrical power signal by the electric power conditioning module in accordance with generating the conditioned electric power signal; and
generate a digital signal representative of the at least one of the electrical characteristic of the one or more adaptation operations; and
memory that stores operational instructions; and
the one or more processing modules operably coupled to the electric power conditioning module, the DSC, and the memory, wherein, when enabled, the one or more processing modules is configured to execute the operational instructions to:
receive the digital signal representative of the at least one of the electrical characteristic of the one or more adaptation operations;
process the digital signal to determine information regarding the one or more adaptation operations;
based on the information regarding the one or more adaptation operations, determine whether to perform additional adaptation of the electrical power signal by the electric power conditioning module in accordance with generating the conditioned electric power signal; and
based on a determination to perform additional adaptation of the electrical power signal by the electric power conditioning module in accordance with generating the conditioned electric power signal, identify one or more additional adaptation operations to be performed on the electrical power signal by the electric power conditioning module in accordance with generating the conditioned electric power signal and direct the electric power conditioning module to perform the one or more adaptation additional operations via the control signaling.
