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) ...

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 ...

Milpitas, Calif. — The X9455 digitally controlled potentiometer combines two separate 256-tap twin wiper potentiometers along with a two-wire interface into a 14-lead TSSOP. Designed for optical ...

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 ...

A three-wire bus is commonly used to control digitally controlled potentiometers (DCPs). One example of this type of bus is Xicor's 32-tap X9315 (U3), shown in the figure. This asynchronous bus has no ...

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 ...
