This is a digitally controllable electronic potentiometer. The heart of the circuit is a 16 channel analog multiplexer. Controlled by the BCD value at the inputs, the output pin of the multiplexer ...

A new breed of electronically adjustable resistors promises to ease fine-tuning in sensors and other electronic devices. Adjustable resistors have come a long way from mechanical potentiometers set ...

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 ...

This design idea details how a standard volume control can be replaced by its solid-state equivalent. Digital potentiometers are often advertised as replacements for rotary volume controls. To ...

Catalyst Semiconductor’s new quad and dual Digitally Programmable Potentiometer (DPP™) integrated circuits (ICs) are designed to replace mechanical potentiometers. The quad CAT5241 and dual CAT5221 ...
