Eine Einführung in die Schaltungssimulation LTspice wurde von Mike Engelhardt entwickelt und gehört inzwischen zu Analog Devices. Es handelt sich dabei um ein Programm zur Schaltplanerstellung – einen leistungsstarken, schnellen und kostenlosen SPICE-Simulator sowie um ein Werkzeug zur Darstellung von Kurvenverläufen. Es bietet eine umfangreiche Bauteildatenbank, die weltweit durch SPICE-Modelle unterstützt wird. Mit LTspice kann man schnell und einfach Schaltpläne erstellen. Dank der leistungsfähigen grafischen Ausgabefunktionen lassen sich Spannungen und Ströme in einer Schaltung, die Leistungsaufnahme der Bauteile und viele weitere Parameter darstellen. Ziel dieses Buches ist es, den Entwurf und die Simulation elektronischer Schaltungen mit LTspice zu vermitteln. Es behandelt unter anderem folgende Themen: DC und AC-Schaltungen Kleinsignal- und Z-Dioden Transistorschaltungen inkl. Oszillatoren Tryristor-, Diac- und Triacschaltungen Operationsverstärkerschaltungen inkl. Oszillatoren Der 555 Timer-IC Filter Spannungsregler Optokoppler Erstellung von Spannungskurven Simulation von Logikschaltungen mit der 74HC-Familie SPICE-Modellierung LTspice ist ein äußerst vielseitiges Werkzeug zur Simulation elektronischer Schaltungen mit zahlreichen Funktionen und Anwendungsmöglichkeiten. Eine vollständige Behandlung aller Details würde jedoch den Rahmen dieses Buches sprengen. Daher konzentriert sich das Buch auf die gängigsten Themen wie DC- und AC-Analyse, Parametersweep, Übertragungsfunktionen, Oszillatoren, Diagramme und weitere grundlegende Anwendungen. Obwohl es sich um eine Einführung handelt, deckt dieses Buch dennoch die meisten Interessensgebiete all jener ab, die sich mit der Simulation elektronischer Schaltungen beschäftigen.

Using the RFID Starter Kit An Arduino board has now become ‘the’ basic component in the maker community. No longer is an introduction to the world of microcontrollers the preserve of the expert. When it comes to expanding the capabilities of the basic Arduino board however, the developer is still largely on his own. If you really want to build some innovative projects it’s often necessary to get down to component level. This can present many beginners with major problems. That is exactly where this book begins. This book explains how a wide variety of practical projects can be built using items supplied in a single kit together with the Arduino board. This kit, called the 'RFID Starter Kit for Arduino' (SKU 17240) is not just limited to RFID applications but contains more than 30 components, devices and modules covering all areas of modern electronics. In addition to more simple components such as LEDs and resistors there are also complex and sophisticated modules that employ the latest technology such as: A humidity sensor A multicolor LED A large LED matrix with 64 points of light A 4-character 7-segment LED display An infra red remote-controller unit A complete LC-display module A servo A stepper motor and controller module A complete RFID reader module and security tag On top of that you will get to build precise digital thermometers, hygrometers, exposure meters and various alarm systems. There are also practical devices and applications such as a fully automatic rain sensor, a sound-controlled remote control system, a multifunctional weather station and so much more. All of the projects described can be built using the components supplied in the Elektor kit.

From Rubbing Amber to Swiping Glass "The story of electricity, told one connection at a time."Why does rubbing amber attract dust? How did we go from that curious effect to a world where screens respond to a single touch? And how did we get from mysterious sparks to tiny chips packed with billions of transistors? For centuries, electricity puzzled and fascinated those who encountered its curious effects—long before it even had a name. From the earliest observations of static charge to the complex electronics that shape our lives today, this book traces the gradual, and often surprising, story of how humanity came to understand and harness this powerful force. This book offers an engaging and accessible account of the people, ideas, and inventions that transformed electricity from a scientific curiosity into the foundation of our digital age. Along the way, you’ll meet a host of inquisitive minds—some famous, others less so—whose persistence and creativity helped unravel the mysteries of the natural world and gave rise to the technologies we now take for granted. Covering everything from Leyden jars and batteries to transistors, microcontrollers and the internet, this book presents a clear and enjoyable overview of electronics and its relatively short, yet rich, history. Whether you have a technical background or simply a curiosity about how things work, From Rubbing Amber to Swiping Glass offers a thoughtful look at how far we’ve come—and a gentle nudge to wonder what might come next.

The Elektor Low-Noise Lab Power Supply is a fully analogue, adjustable, medium-power symmetrical bench supply that contains no switching or digital components. It provides an output voltage adjustable between 0 V and ±22 V, and an output current adjustable from 0 A to 1 A. Because it avoids any form of switching circuitry, the design delivers extremely low noise. To display both output voltages and currents, four miniature moving-coil panel meters are used. Most modern laboratory power supplies and AC adapters employ switch-mode techniques. Even the best examples inevitably exhibit high-frequency ripple and other switching artefacts on their output, which can interfere with the testing of sensitive analogue circuits and disturb low-level measurements. To overcome this, the concept here is a completely analogue power supply. Although less efficient than its switch-mode counterparts, the reduced efficiency is of little importance for test-bench use and ensures cleaner, more reliable measurement results. Because many analogue circuits require a symmetrical supply, this design delivers positive and negative output voltages of equal magnitude. A small amount of adjustment is available to compensate for any imbalance. Naturally, a variable current-limit function is also included. The kit includes the components required to build the power supply, except for the transformers.
