Potentiometers may look like basic knobs, but they play a key role in adjusting voltage within a circuit. In this video, ...

Today, potentiometers dominate the market for linear and rotary path and position sensing. That is not to say that there aren’t other position-measuring systems available on the market (see Table 1), ...

The output voltage of a voltage reference device can be adjusted using a digitally controlled potentiometer (DCP) without significantly changing the device’s temperature coefficient (TC), which ...

Download the full article as a .PDF, sponsored by Analog What are digital potentiometers, and how are they used? Digital potentiometers are integrated circuits that implement a resistive ladder and a ...

If you have a traditional regulated power supply that you want to make adjustable, you’ll have somewhere in the circuit a feedback line driven by a potential divider across the output. That divider ...
