The charger is based on the LTC4053a standalone timer-terminated constant current/constant voltage linear charger. The LTC4053 features a thermal loop which maximizes the charging rate under all conditions by regulating the maximum die temperature. Less sophisticated linear chargers must run lower charging rates or risk overheating, thus increasing charge times...
The i2c-tiny-usb project is an open source/open hardware project. The goal of i2c-tiny-usb is to provide a cheap generic i2c interface to be attached to the usb. It is meant as a replacement for those simple and cheap printer port to i2c adapters. A USB solution has several advantages incl. the built-in power supply and a more future proof interface. Furthermore no cpu intense bitbanging is required on the host side. This USB solution even requires less parts than some.....
The circuit in Figure 1 uses the MIC2545A-2 and the MIC2778. The MIC2545A-2 is a programmable current limit high-side switch that is capable of having current-limit up to 2.5A...
The Wireless Keylogger consists of two main building blocks: the transmitter, and the receiver. The actual keylogging takes place in the transmitter, which is in fact a PS/2 hardware keylogger, with a built-in 2.4 GHz wireless module. Captured keystroke data is transmitted through the radio-link in real-time, rather than getting stored. The receiver on the other hand, is a wireless acquisition unit with a USB interface. All keystroke data received from the transmitter is.....
The LTC3455 seamlessly manages power flow between an AC adapter, USB cable and Li-ion battery, while complying with USB power standards, all from a 4mm ½§ 4mm QFN package. In addtion, two high efficiency synchronous buck converters generate low voltage rails which most USB-powered peripherals require...
The core of this construction is 16-Bit Stereo Digital-To-Analog Convertor with USB interface PCM2702. PCM2702 needs only few additional parts to work. The schematic is not complex. Sound card can be powered directly from USB port (jumper W1) or from external power supply (jumper W3). PCM2702 needs two power supply 3.3V (3V-3.6V) and 5V (4.5V-5.5V). I used fixed output voltage LDO TPS76733Q for 3.3V (IO2) and adjustable output voltage LDO TPS76701Q for 5V (IO3). Both LDO.....
A little board with most of Microchip kit, but less parts then all these boards. Only the basic components to get the microcontroller up and running the Microchip USB Library examples. PIC18F14K50 is a really basic device and after some research I found what you can do and what you can not do with it: What you can do: USB HID (Human Interface Devices) like mouse, keyboards, sensors, serial-usb converters, etc. What you can not do: USB storage devices, like USB flash.....
I am planing to design the x86 board for some of my application that needs more computing capability. One of the feature that I need to add to the x86 board is USB port. I found the ASIC that enables 8-bit MCU to interface USB easily from Future Technology Devices International: FTDI. The USB controller chip is FT245BM. Fortunately near my campus, the Astron Logic company sells the ready board for such USB chip with connector. So I bought it to learn how to interface with.....
The XSV-300 board is a versatile FPGA development board providing a 300-Kgate FPGA, programmable clock oscillators, standard PC interface components (e.g. a USB-Transceiver), Flash memory, RAM and 7-segment displays...
Portable systems often include circuitry that derives power from an external source, such as USB. When the system disconnects from the USB supply, a battery takes over and supplies current via a dc/dc converter. A diode-OR connection (Figure 1 offers the easiest way to ensure that the supply voltage doesn`t sag during this switchover to the battery...
This Design Idea stems from the limited availability of IC voltage regulators that can meet key USB-power specs, coupled with the need for turn-on sequencing and rise-time control at each output. As always, for PC-related designs, minimum cost is a primary motivation. USB specs require all loads to limit inrush current to less than 100 mA plus 50 µC of charge when powered on. If permission is granted to increase the load to 500 mA, inrush limiting may be required again to.....
There are two ways to program AVR-P40-USB: with ICSP port and with JTAG port. To program via ICSP port you need serial port or parallel port AVR-ICSP programmer dongle (Olimex part # AVR-PG1B or AVR-PG2B). The serial port ICSP programmer (AVR-PG1B) works with PonyProg software by from Claudio Lanconelli and the latest release may be download for free from lancos.com The parallel port ICSP programmer (AVRPG2B) works with AVR ISP from Atmel and may be download for.....
This application note describes how to implement the Device Firmware Upgrade (DFU) capability using a ST7 USB microcontroller like the ST72F62 or ST72F63B in a general purpose or non-USB application. The term non-USB is used here to contrast with USB application which has a different DFU implementation (refer to AN1577). In the implementation described here, the USB interface is not used in the application...
Lithium Polymer Batteries are a very common source of power today. Many electronics gadgets have one inside, and they have some reasonable features. I've bought great batteries, with different sizes and capacities for my electronics projects. So long I'm using this batteries, coming the problem: charge them...
The TiltStick is a small acceleration sensing device in form of a USB stick. It's using a two axis acceleration sensor to measure acceleration (caused e.g. by motion and tilt). The device is emulating a USB joystick and can thus be used in conjunction with any USB equipped host (e.g. a standard PC or the Nokia N8XX family) without any special drivers. The TiltStick is the successor of the Tilt Dongle for Palm OS. Two versions of the TiltStick have been designed based on.....
The present document shows step by step how to easily build an interesting pointing device: the wireless tilt mouse, that allows to control the mouse?s cursor on the PC screen through the tilt of the board itself. The analog data from a 3-D accelerometer and from two push-buttons are acquired, converted and radio transmitted by an XBee module using the standard ZigBee protocol. On the receiver side there is another XBee module connected to the PC through an EasyUSB module,.....
When the sensor detects movement in a room it will take a burst of 10 photos with the digital camera. Each photo is taken at 0.5sec interval. After the 10 photos, the camera waits 3 seconds for further movement and if it is detected, the process is repeated until 80 photos are taken. The photos can then be downloaded to your PC (via the USB connection on the board) for viewing...
This is a simple LED circuit that takes power from the USB port. I needed this USB light since long time ago but, finally; I was able to build it. The circuit schematic is so simple: Just one resistor and one White LED. I did use a 10,000mcd white LED. It illuminates perfectly the keyboard of my computer. In fact; it is so bright that, I can use it to read. I did use an old USD cable. I took it from an old digital camera (Purchased for $19.99 USD. I remember the big soap.....
The circuit diagram of the stand-alone spi programmer, the power to the interface is provided by the PC USB port which can supply a max of 100mA current. Get a cheap USB cable, cut the cable other end connector and attach a crimp shell connector to this end, red wire is 5V and black is 0V. This programmer circuit can be use to program the 89S series devices and the AVR series devices which are pin compatible to 8051, like 90S8515. For other AVR series devices the user can.....
