USB-C power board reference books, each featuring pages crafted from genuine USB-C PCBs, are now on sale for $37 apiece
In a recent video segment on the EEVblog YouTube channel, electronics enthusiast Dave Jones featured the Reference Circuit Books by Bolt Industries. The books, which are now available for purchase, have been marketed as invaluable tools for both learning and reference.
The first volume, titled "DC Circuit Fundamentals," covers essential DC circuits and principles such as voltage, current, resistance, and power relationships. It delves into practical examples of simple DC supply circuits, voltage regulators, and test setups to help users understand DC electrical behaviour.
The second volume, "LEDs, Transistors, and Oscillators," expands into active electronic components and their applications. This volume covers LEDs and their driving circuits, transistor configurations (both bipolar junction transistors and possibly FETs), switching applications, and oscillator circuits like RC and LC oscillators used in timing and waveform generation.
Each book is built from PCBs and weighs a manageable 3.95 ounces (112g). They are interactive, featuring buttons and switches, and some models sport lights and sounds. The books are powered by a PSB-C PD charger or a PD-compatible phone.
Dave Jones gave the Reference Circuit Books a "huge thumbs up" after watching the video segment. He praised the books for their hands-on approach, stating that they provide a unique and engaging way to learn about and understand electronic circuits.
