Potentiometers, or variable resistors, are a standard component that we take for granted. If it says “10k log” on a volume pot, than we fit and forget. But if like [Ben Holmes] you are modelling ...

Digital potentiometers (dpots) are ubiquitous components available in a variety of packages, resistances, and resolutions. However, few implement anything but the usual linear function of resistance ...

Catalyst Semiconductor’s CAT5116 is a new Digitally Programmable Potentiometer (DPP) integrated circuit (IC) for the audio and optical equipment markets. Catalyst Semiconductor’s CAT5116 is a new ...

Trimmer potentiometers are ubiquitous components and are available in a variety of packages, resolutions, and temperature stabilities. However, none of these potentiometers implements anything but the ...

Adjusting the volume dial on a sound system, sensing your finger position on a touch screen, and knowing when someone’s in the car are just a few examples of where you encounter variable resistors in ...

In many system applications, it becomes necessary to adjust a switched-mode power supply (SMPS) output voltage within narrow limits in order to remove tolerances and drops in the power path, verify ...
