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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Analog variable frequency filters require the use of variable passive components. The higher the slope of the filter, the greater the number of needed variable passive components. These elements are ...
