Li-ion Power Pack/Charger
– 2 Cell
The Li-ion Power Pack-Charger – 2
Cell is an integrated
storage cell and
charging system on
a single 3” x 4”
printed circuit board
now available from
Parallax. It’s
compatible with
most 18650-size Li-ion cells. Price is $49.99.
Features:
• PCB-mounted cell holders with on-board charging
circuitry.
• Multiple power input/output options.
• On-board output fuse protection.
• Nominal 7. 4 VDC output; 8. 2 VDC maximum.
• Standard 3” x 4” PCB footprint integrates well with the
Board of Education® (#28150), Propeller™ Proto Board
(#32212), or any application needing a reliable power.
supply with an integrated charging system.
• Automatic charge/discharge switching circuitry.
• Holds two rechargeable 3. 7 volt Li-ion 18650-size cells.
• Multiple LED indicators provide charge readiness
information for each individual cell; status key for the
LED indicators is printed on the board.
• Aggressive holders retain cells in any board orientation
and in moderate shock environments, such as mobile
robotic applications. Cells are not permanent and are
easily replaced.
• Dedicated circuitry continuously monitors the charging
process to ensure safety, efficiency, and to maximize the
number of charge/discharge cycles of each cell.

NEXYS3
FPGS
Board
Digilent, Inc., announces the
launch of the
NEXYS™ 3 board, the
latest addition to their
family of FPGA-based
design kits. Featuring Xilinx’s newest Spartan6 FPGA, 48
Mbytes of external memory (including two non-volatile
phase-change memories from Micron), USB and Ethernet
ports, and other common I/O devices, the Nexys3 board is
perfectly suited for academic and industrial design
settings. Students and engineers alike can build circuits
ranging from simple logic circuits, to CODECs and custom
device controllers, to embedded processors without
needing any other equipment and for less than the cost of
a textbook.
The Nexys3’s high speed USB2 port provides board
power, high speed FPGA programming, and user-data
transfers at rates up to 38 Mbytes/sec. The USB2 port
supports Digilent’s latest Adept programming software as
well as all Xilinx tools, including the free WebPack™,
Chipscope™, and EDK™ tools. In addition to FGPA and
ROM programming, the Adept system offers automated
board tests, a virtual I/O system that extends I/O
capabilities using a PC-based interface panel, and
simplified user-data transfers. The Adept application, an
SDK, and reference materials are freely downloadable from
the Digilent website.
A large collection of low cost peripheral boards —
including more than 40 Pmods™ and several new Vmods™
— can add additional features to the Nexys3, including
A/D and D/A converters, breadboards, motor drivers,
displays, etc.
The Nexys3 board is priced at $119 for academic
customers and $199 for all others. Volume discounts are
available. Most orders ship the day they are received.
