A potential divider, also known as a voltage divider, is a simple yet essential circuit used to reduce voltage to a desired level. It consists of two resistors connected in series close seriesA ...

Digital potentiometers, such as Analog Devices’ AD5160, make excellent digitally controlled voltage dividers in applications in which 8-bit resolution is acceptable. This Design Idea shows how to use ...

Little Bird Electronics posted an article about using an analog voltage reference with Arduino. This is a tool available when using an analog-to-digital converter. By setting up either an internal ...

In the design of power supplies, the desired output voltages can be set manually. This is accomplished in most integrated power supply circuits, as well as switching and linear regulator ICs, with the ...

One commonly employed method is to use a resistor string as a voltage divider, setting the resistor ratio such that the highest voltage of interest is scaled below the ADC’s reference voltage.

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 ...

Perhaps the simplest way to regulate a DC voltage is using a voltage divider and/or an active device like a Zener diode. Besides simplicity, they have the additional advantage of not being particul… ...
