Next generation battery cuts out NRE costs
Recently launched by Varta Microbattery and now in stock at Flint Distribution, the Varta Easypack is billed as the ideal solution for next generation battery requirements.
The only requirements are a standard USB port, and the need to ensure that the tiny antenna at the end of the dongle protrudes from the case.
The Mitsumi USB-Bluetooth adapter provides an easy to implement wireless connection to other parts of the system, or to the growing range of Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones, printers, modems and home or office networks.
USB is used as the interface between Bluetooth and the system, providing a 5V power supply and high-speed 1Mbyte/s connection, as well as hot-plug-and-play ability.
The USB "dongle" features a highly integrated chip, with all RF and baseband circuitry, Bluetooth Lower Protocol and USB core all built into a single CMOS device.
Its onboard antenna takes micro miniaturisation a stage further: the entire adapter is just 20mm wide, less than 8mm thick and is 60mm in length including the A-type male USB connector.
A wide range of functionality - such as home networking and Internet access - benefits from broad PC profile support: including generic access, service discovery, serial port, LAN access, dial-up networking, fax, generic object exchange and object push application profiles.
