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 ...

Potentiometers, sometimes called “pots,” are used frequently on modern farm equipment. In simple terms, potentiometers connect to a shaft or linkage that in turn is connected to some part of the ...

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 ...
