Student applications, which qualify for a 20% (twenty per cent) reduction in current rates, must be supported by evidence of studentship signed by the head of the college, school or university faculty. A standard Student Subscription costs £33.50, a Student Subscription- Plus costs £40.40 (UK only). Please note that new subscriptions take about four weeks from receipt of order to become effective. Cancelled subscriptions will be subject to a charge of 25% (twentyfive per cent) of the full subscription price or £7.50, whichever is the higher, plus the cost of any issues already dispatched. Subsciptions cannot be cancelled after they have run for six months or more. January 2006
New CD-ROM USB TOOLBOX This CD-ROM contains all the essential information a designer needs to start working with the USB interface. It includes a large collection of data sheets for specific USB components from a wide range of manufacturers. There are two ways to incorporate a USB interface in a microcontroller circuit. You can add a USB controller to an existing circuit, or use a microcontroller with an integrated USB interface. Both options are available on this CD-ROM. USB Toolbox provides information on all ICs suitable for different applications. A sub-division has been made in controllers, hubs, microcontrollers and others. What is perhaps more interesting for many designers however, is the extremely extensive software collection which contains drivers, tools and components for Windows, Delphi and various microcontroller families. Of course, none of the Elektor Electronics articles on the subject of USB are missing on this CD-ROM ATC Semitec Ltd, Showcase . . . . . . . . . .www.atcsemitec.co.uk . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .102 Avit Research, Showcase . . . . . . . . . . . . .www.avitresearch.co.uk . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .102 BAEC, Showcase . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .http://baec.tripod.com . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .102 Beijing Draco . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .www.ezpcb.com . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .37 Beta Layout, Showcase . . . . . . . . . . . . . .www.pcb-pool.com . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .7, 102 Bitscope Designs . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .www.bitscope.com . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .3 ByVac . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .www.byvac.co.uk . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .69 Compulogic, Showcase . . . . . . . . . . . . . .www.compulogic.co.uk . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .102 Conford Electronics, Showcase . . . . . . . .www.confordelec.co.uk . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .102 Cricklewood . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .www.cctvcentre.co.uk . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .69 Danbury, Showcase . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .www.DanburyElectronics.co.uk . . . . . . . . . . . .102 Easysync, Showcase . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .www.easysync.co.uk . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .102 Elnec, Showcase . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .www.elnec.com . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .102 Eptsoft . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .www.eptsoft.com . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .78 Eurocircuits . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .www.eurocircuits.com . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .6 First Technology Transfer Ltd, Showcase .www.ftt.co.uk . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .102 Future Technology Devices, Showcase . . .www.ftdichip.com . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .98, 99, 102 Futurlec, Showcase . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .www.futurlec.com . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .102 Heros Technology, Showcase . . . . . . . . . .www.herostechnology.co.uk . . . . . . . . . . . . . .102 Intronix Test Instruments . . . . . . . . . . . . .www.pcTestInstruments.com . . . . . . . . . . . . . .41 Jaycar Electronics . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .www.jaycarelectronics.co.uk . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2 JB Systems, Showcase . . . . . . . . . . . . . .www.modetron.com . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .103 JLB Electronics, Showcase . . . . . . . . . . .www.jlbelectronics.com . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .102 KMK Technologies Ltd, Showcase . . . . . .www.kmk.com.hk . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .102 Labcenter . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .www.labcenter.co.uk . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .112 Lichfield Electronics . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .www.lichfieldelectronics.co.uk . . . . . . . . . . . . .37 ISBN 90-5381-212-1 £ 18.95 / US$ 34.95 Embedded USB Know How INDEX OF ADVERTISERS Order now using the Order Form in the Readers Services section in this issue.
