Small, resilient and easy to use, digital potentiometers are becoming widely accepted as replacements for mechanical potentiometers, especially in volume-control applications. In this type of audio ...

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 ...

Those twisty knobs connected to potentiometers aren’t necessarily a strict linear progression from one resistance to another. Potentiometers have a taper. Yes, sometimes it’s a linear taper that’s a ...
