At least one eagle eyed person spotted that the inductor (which should=20 be a ferrite bead) in my USB to serial breakout had no value. Now I=20 have read the datasheet, it says: "The value of the Ferrite Bead depends on the total current drawn by the=20 application." Is there a rule of thumb for picking a correct value? The maximum power=20 draw will be 500mA. There are plenty to choose from, but after a little=20 Googling I'm still unsure what value would be correct to act as an EMI=20 filter on the power line.
