Power USB VBUS in Autos with the LT8697 - USB sockets appear in an increasing number of car models as portable devices become more ubiquitous. The USB interface delivers power to portable devices via the 5V VBUS and ground lines. Depending on the USB version and the portable device, the VBUS sources up to 2.1A. In a car, this high VBUS current presents a challenge. __ Linear Technology/Analog Devices App Note, Trevor Crane Design Engineer-Power Products Jul 15th 2013
Power-line outage flashes red alert - 06/13/02 EDN-Design Ideas This design idea expands on a circuit in a previous one to configure a power-outage detector with a flashing alarm(Figure 1, Reference 1].

Power-On Time Delay Relay - Here's a power-on time delay relay circuit that takes advantage of the emitter/base breakdown voltage of an ordinary bi-polar transistor. The reverse connected emitter/base junction of a 2N3904 transistor is used as an 8 volt zener diode which creates a higher turn-on voltage for the Darlington connected transistor pair. Most any bi-polar transistor may be used, but the zener voltage will vary from about 6 to 9 volts depending on the particular transistor used. Time delay is roughly 7 seconds using a 47K resistor and 100uF capacitor and can be reduced by reducing the R or C values. __ Designed by Bill Bowden

Printer Port Controls Amplifier's Gain - 10/26/95 EDN-Design Ideas The circuit in Fig 1 lets you use a PC's printer port to set the gain of an inverting amplifier. The circuit uses a 4-to-1 analog multiplexer, IC1, to select a pair of external resistors. The multiplexer's connection scheme ensures that the on-state resistance of the analog switches does not affect the performance of the circuit. The on-state series resistance is negligible in comparison with the high input impedance of the op amp. The op amp's gain is, thus, the ratio of the two network resistances R2/R1 Design by Bogdan Manolescu, Gunicom Professional, Bucharest, Romania
