Elektor Labs USB-RS232 Converter (FT231X BoB)
In 2011 we published a small PCB, FT232R USB/Serial Bridge/BOB (110553) with a USB-UART IC from FTDI, the FT232RQ. Here we present its successor with a cheaper version, an FT231XQ. But there are some other changes too. Instead of connectors, alongside the PCB, normal pin headers are used that are mounted on the bottom side and make the PCB a little smaller when mounted, compared to the old BoB. An ESD protection device (D1) is added in the USB data signal lines for extra safety. Despite less room for all parts to fit on the PCB, it is only a little over 2 mm longer. The FT231 has four configurable CBUS I/O pins, one less now. More importantly, however, the power supply for the I/O's VCCIO is only specified for +1.8 V to +3.3 but is 5 V tolerant for external UART logic running on +5 V. The +3.3 V internal regulator of the FT231 can deliver 50 mA to external circuitry. The manufacturer FTDI has a utility to configure several settings, FTPROG. Such as the function of the CBUS pins. By default, CBUS1 and CBUS 2 are low-level outputs to drive receive and transmit LEDs, indicating data transfer on the USB bus. So, when receiving data through the UART, the TX LED lights up. If you prefer this the other way around, FTPROG can be used to change this. But be careful the chip can become unresponsive when wrong settings are programmed. Some of the more important properties of the new BoB: Micro-USB connector USB 2.0 Full Speed capable VCCIO +1.8...+3.3 V (max. 4 V, 5 V input from UART logic tolerant) +3.3 V regulator output, max. 50 mA Data transfer 300 baud to 3 Mbaud UART Compatible with RS232, RS485, and RS422 I/O pin output drive 4 mA - 16 mA 4 configurable CBUS pins Here you can find information regarding the EEPROM Programming Utility, the VCP Drivers and the D2XX Drivers.

SparkFun SparkFun Qwiic Mux Breakout - 8 Channel (TCA9548A)
The Qwiic Mux also has eight configurable addresses of its own, allowing for up to 64 I²C buses on a connection. To make it even easier to use this multiplexer, all communication is enacted exclusively via I²C, utilizing our handy Qwiic system. The Qwiic Mux also allows you to change the last three bits of the address byte, allowing for eight jumper selectable addresses if you happen to need to put more than one Qwiic Mux Breakout on the same I²C port. The address can be changed by adding solder to any of the three ADR jumpers. Each SparkFun Qwiic Mux Breakout operates between 1.65 V and 5.5 V, making it ideal for all of the Qwiic boards we produce in house.

Marvelous Magnetic Machines
Building Model Electric Motors from ScrapYou’re standing in front of an old card table in a driveway at a garage sale. On that table is a one-quart aluminum saucepan, a votive candle holder, pieces of some office machinery, and a wooden awards plaque. What do you see there? If you did not answer “a six-cylinder radial electromagnetic attraction motor,” then you need this book!H.P. Friedrichs (author of The Voice of the Crystal and Instruments of Amplification) returns this time to explore the principles behind the operation and construction of five simple, yet impressive, model electric motors.Aspiring mechanical model makers are often discouraged by their lack of access to machine tools, like mills, lathes, or drill presses. Friedrichs demonstrates that with some basic knowledge, an open eye, and a sharp mind, one can use commonly available (and often discarded) parts and materials to engineer one’s way around any lack of expensive machine tooling. In fact, every motor in this book was built from scrap, and can be assembled with hand tools.You’ll learn where to hunt for and find materials, and where to salvage suitable bearings. You’ll know where useful solenoids can be extracted from scrap, and how to fabricate bobbins to wind your own. You’ll learn how to time your motors, fashion a connecting rod, make a commutator from scratch, use a hall effect sensor to detect magnet position, use a transistor as a switch, and much more.About the authorH.P. Friedrichs is a degreed electrical engineer (BSEE), inventor, and author with more than three decades of experience working in domains ranging from audio, medical, and radio, to software, automotive, and aerospace. At present, he is a Principal Engineer with Honeywell, involved in the design and support of specialized equipment used for testing and validating aircraft power generation products.He has five U.S. patents to his credit and holds three radio licenses including Extra-Class Amateur (AC7ZL), Commercial Radio Operator with Radar Endorsement and GMDSSOperator/Maintainer with Radar Endorsement. He is also a certified VE.Friedrichs is the author of numerous technical articles appearing in a variety of magazines, newsletters, and web sites but is best known for his books The Voice of the Crystal and Instruments of Amplification. Now cult classics among 'from-scratch' electronics experimenters, these books have enjoyed favorable reviews from the editors of such prestigious periodicals as QST, CQ Magazine, Practical Wireless, and Make Magazine.H.P. Friedrichs lives in Tucson, Arizona, with his wife and his German Shepherd/laboratory assistant — who is prone to 'borrow' books and tools but not return them.

Elsevier RF Circuit Design (2nd Edition)
RF circuit design is now more important than ever as we find ourselves in an increasingly wireless world. Radio is the backbone of today’s wireless industry with protocols such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, WiMax, and ZigBee. Most, if not all, mobile devices have an RF component and this book tells the reader how to design and integrate that component in a very practical fashion. This book has been updated to include today's integrated circuit (IC) and system-level design issues as well as keeping its classic ‘wire lead’ material. Design Concepts and Tools Include The Basics: Wires, Resistors, Capacitors, Inductors Resonant Circuits: Resonance, Insertion Loss Filter Design: High-pass, Bandpass, Band-rejection Impedance Matching: The L Network, Smith Charts, Software Design Tools Transistors: Materials, Y Parameters, S Parameters Small Signal RF Amplifier: Transistor Biasing, Y Parameters, S Parameters RF Power Amplifiers: Automatic Shutdown Circuitry , Broadband Transformers, Practical Winding Hints RF Front-End: Architectures, Software-Defined Radios, ADC’s Effects RF Design Tools: Languages, Flow, Modeling
