If you need a potentiometer for a project, chances are pretty good that you’re not going to pick up a pencil and draw one. Then again, if you’re teaching someone how a variable resistor works, that ...

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 ...

A resistor is characterized by an always constant resistive value. With the same applied voltage, it will always pass the same amount of current. The potentiometer, on the other hand, is an electronic ...

A resistor is an electrical device that resists the flow of electrical current. In the digital era, we can find a variety of “digital resistors” for our everyday applications. This article is about ...

The AD5206 is a digitally controlled, 8-bit, six-channel variable potentiometer. Like a mechanical potentiometer, trimmer, or variable resistor, this 256-position device offers a programmable ...
