How a simple knob controls voltage
Potentiometers may look like basic knobs, but they play a key role in adjusting voltage within a circuit. In this video, ...
Both analog potentiometers and digipots have output or wiper terminals that drive load resistances. How does potentiometer loading affect output linearity? How light must the loading be to achieve a ...
While almost always called "potentiometers" (which are technically defined as three-terminal variable voltage dividers), many "pots" actually end up being used as variable resistors (rheostats) ...
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 ...
