1. An electromechanical actuator driver circuit comprising:
a terminal configured to receive an input command signal;
command logic circuitry coupled to the terminal, wherein the command logic circuitry is configured to convert the input command signal to an actuation command; and
decoding logic circuitry coupled to the command logic circuitry, wherein the decoding logic circuitry comprises:
a plurality of driver command circuits to generate a respective driver command based on the actuation command, wherein each driver command circuit corresponds to a different one of a plurality of types of electromechanical actuators; and
logic circuitry coupled to the plurality of driver command circuits to enable a first driver command circuit corresponding to a selected type of electromechanical actuator.
