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 way of ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 or ...

Find out how a digital technique performs multiplication on two bitstreams and avoids the cost of the analog multiplier.

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 ...

The final part of this series will start with bias servo circuits for automatic set up. The FETs pinch off or threshold voltage can vary widely for the same part number. Depending on the fabrication ...

The three parts of the article are reproduced by the author here. What bought me to the page was searching on Kelvin Varley voltage divider – I couldn’t see how one worked, not even from the Wikipedia ...

Touting a 30% smaller footprint than similar components, the 1776-C67 and 1776-C68 family of decade voltage dividers are suitable for use in precision 3½-, 4½-, and 5½-digit multimeters and power ...
