Zusammenfassung:An architecture for coupling the output of a prime mover to a rotationally driven device. The architecture includes a selectable switching device, a terminal output member and a torque transfer device having an intermediate output member. The selectable switching device is coupled to the output of the prime mover and is selectively and alternately coupled between first and second states; in the first state with the torque transfer device, whereby the torque transfer device is rotatably driven by the prime mover and the terminal output member is rotatably driven by the intermediate output member of the torque transfer device; and in the second state with the terminal output member, whereby the terminal output member is rotatably driven by the prime mover and the torque transfer device is rotatably disconnected from the prime mover and is not rotatably driven.
