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 ...
Today, potentiometers dominate the market for linear and rotary path and position sensing. That is not to say that there aren’t other position-measuring systems available on the market (see Table 1), ...
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 ...
