To get around the built-in short-circuit protection he needed a potentiometer to limit the current while allowing for adjustments. His first circuit used a resistor salvaged from an AT supply and ...

"Our goal was to increase the operating cycles of a conventional potentiometer by a factor of ten, while achieving cost parity with PCB-based potentiometers," said one of the Irvine, CA based ...

A servo uses a potentiometer attached to the output shaft in order to sense position, and the internal electronics take care of driving the motor to move the shaft to the desired angle.

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today introduced a new series of control knobs designed to be used with the ...

It is necessary to use a battery and a non-inductive rheostat capable of very fine adjustment, called a potentiometer, in connection with this detector. The battery polarizes the electrolytic cell ...

Design automation in this area is required urgently. This paper presents a highly portable and configurable Digital Controlled Potentiometer (DCP) IP core which comes along with a novel, mainly ...
