What's inside
This know-it-all app makes the perfect sidekick on the job or in the classroom, as it fits right in your back pocket on your smartphone. The Electronic Toolbox combines 50 individual tools, all with a consistent look and feel. This includes BJT calculations, a database for common electrical symbols, databases for transistors, a number base converter (hex, decimal, binary, etc.), schematic diagrams, and type listings with color coding for resistors and capacitors, including SMT types. In addition to these features, the app offers plenty of background information and displays underlying formulas, right at your fingertips. The Electronic Toolbox makes it incredibly simple for beginners to grasp a clear understanding of everything they need to know, and it acts as a refresher for those familiar with the workings of electronics.
Quickly get what you need
Because this high quality app brings together a huge amount of data, covering many subjects and functions, it comes with customization and an organizer for your personal requirements. You're able to organize tools using folders, rearrange or hide certain tools, and the choice between list-view or icon-view makes getting what you need quick and easy.
Furthermore, parametric search is also an option, as this app is loaded with information. You're able to search and filter by entering parameter values, so searching for components with specific properties is anything but complicated.
To use most of the functions, including the large databases, Internet connection isn't required. Internet connection is only needed during first-time downloads of datasheets and data updates.
Both beginners and professionals find the Electronic Toolbox simple, organized, and useful. It's compatible with the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, and requires iOS 4.3 or later.

Need some help? Electronic Products' RC Filter Cutoff Frequency Calculator can save you time.
The R-C filter rolls off the frequency response at 6dB per octave above the cut-off frequency, and the position of the resistor and capacitor are switched to change from low pass to high pass, but the same calculation applies to both. This simple calculator assumes a low source impedance, usually small enough that is doesn't change the corner frequency. Just input any two values in the given boxes and hit 'Calculate' to find the remaining value.
