All-In-One USB Power Management IC Solution - DN1008 Design Notes__ Linear Technology/Analog Devices Automated USB controlled Power Switch - Power for TV and set top box (STB) is derived from a common switchboard. The switched-mode power supply (SMPS) of the TV continues to draw a small amount of power from mains and the STB is not switched off when you switch off the remote. This next project presents a circuit that can control mains power of an LED TV and the DTH STB. it also protects the devices from harmful initial surges when power comes back after a power failure.__ Electronics Projects for You

When attached to a Windows/Max OS X/Linux computer, the UBW will show up as an RS232 Com port! You control the individual i/O pins on the PIC through simple serial commands. This is a kit and includes a pre-programmed 18F2550 and both male and female connectors so you can choose which connector you would prefer. __
Bit Whacker-Simple Circuit input/ output Device - The UBW board is a small board that contains a Microchip PIC USB-capable microcontroller, headers to bring out all of the PIC s signal lines (to a breadboard for example) , only costs about $15-$20 to build and is powered from the USB connection. I designed this board to be a simple parallel port replacement tool for Bruce Shapiro for use in his bits-to-bytes-to-bots class. Apologies to all other 'Whacker' projects like EDTP's Packet Whacker for stealing a great name. All tools used to design this project are free, and the design is open to anyone to use for whatever they wish. Please build your own and improve upon it! . __
Build a UPS for USB Devices - 04/11/02 EDN Design Ideas: Portable systems often include circuitry that derives power from an external source, such as USB.

Circuit compensates system offset of a load-cell-based balance - 08/16/07 EDN Design Ideas: A dual DAC stores the system-offset voltage, which gets determined during a power-on calibration sequence. it’s a challenge to interface a resistive bridge sensor with an ADC receiving its power from a 5V single-supply power source. Some applications require output-voltage swings from 0V to a full-scale voltage, such as 4.096V, with excellent accuracy. With most single-supply instrumentation amplifiers, problems arise when the output signal approaches 0V, near the lower output-swing limit of a single-supply instrumentation amp. A good single-supply instrumentation amp may swing close to single-supply ground but does not reach ground even if it has a true rail-to-rail output. __ Circuit Design by Luca Bruno, ITIS Hensemberger, Monza, Italy
Circuit for UPS to Hybernate PC - Most of the low-power UPS systems available in the market do not have the facility to shut down the PC before they turn off automatically due to low battery. Some of them have the facility but they require software for the same. __ Electronics Projects for You
