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), ...

This new whitepaper, by Hoffman + Krippner Inc, introduces the advantages and disadvantages of the membrane potentiometer’s special design, and also outlines its possible applications including ...

While almost always called "potentiometers" (which are technically defined as three-terminal variable voltage dividers), many "pots" actually end up being used as variable resistors (rheostats) ...

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 ...

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 ...

LSI Computer Systems (LSI/CSI) has created a family of 63 tap (6bit) digital potentiometers for direct connection to quadrature decoders, push buttons, GPIOs or SPI serial controls. Debounce circuits ...
