The I2C serial bus is a popular two-wire bus lor small-area networks. I2C Clock and Data lines have open collector (or drain) outputs for each device-on the network. Only a single pull-up resistor is needed. With this arcliitecture, each device can talk on.... -
A laptop computer supply that has 9-V output, crowbar overvoltage protection, and operates i`rom a 12-V supply is shown above. The supply voltage should be at least 3.6 V above the expected output voltage. Ql should be heatsinked appropriately. R5 should.... -
The circuit will operate reliably from below 1 MHz to above 400 MHz. With Vcc = 5 V the output of the second inverter essentially attains a full swing from 0 V to 5 V. Such large logic output levels and broad frequency range capabilities make this oscillator.... -
ADC0809 is an 8-channel analog switch with an 8-bit successive approximation A/D converter. ADC0809 8-channel analog switches can be realized now 8 to 1, an address latch and d.. -

Circuit is shown. It consists of a temperature sensor, temperature control of electronic switches and circuits composed vocal language. In the hot summer season, PCs central pr.. -
M1 is a stepper taken from an old disk drive. There are five pins, i.e., common, coil 1, 2, 3 and 4. Resistance measured between common pin and each coil is about 75 Ohms. Driving current for each coil is then needed about 60mA at +5V supply. A darlington.... -
Some applications may not need user display and key interface, dump terminal is an alternative way for program setting, displaying user interfacing command.Debugging, dump terminal connects with serial port, use only 2-i/o pin, P3.0 for Rxd and P3.1 for Txd..... -
This circuit was designed to control a 32 channel Christmas light show from the PC serial port. Originally designed with TTL logic, it has been simplified using CMOS circuits to reduce component count. It is a fairly simple, reliable circuit that requires.... -
If you are looking at this page, you probably feel like I did when I tried to run a self-powered PIC programmer with my notebook computer. Yes, the serial port was the ultra-low-power type and wouldn`t provide enough current to power the programmer. The.... -
This is a page of analogue interfaces for joysticks. Although these interfaces have been developed for use with 4QD`s controllers they will have plenty of other uses. Also because of the development history, we have printed circuit boards available (either.... -
If you have access to a Lowe HF-225 shortwave receiver, then you might be interested in this page. If you don`t, then you`d probably be better off leaving now. What follows is a project I completed some time ago, which allows the Lowe HF-225 to be controlled.... -
The circuit in Figure 1 is an RS-232/485 converter that uses the transmitted signal itself to control the flow. The circuit uses MAX232 and MAX483 interface circuits, IC1 and IC2 from Maxim Integrated Products (http://www.maxim-ic.com) to convert between the.... -
I got a problem with my notebook, because it has only COM1. My programmer board, Easy-Downloader must use serial port and the application board also needs to communicate via the same serial port. I do remembered I have to swap DB9 connector of both devices.... -
Whoever thinks about reproducing an interface for the Aladin, should first of all be aware of the fact that there are two different versions of the interface. The first version, easier to assemble, enables the user to transfer dive data from the Aladin to....
