Today, digital potentiometers (digi-pots) can replace mechanical potentiometers, offering many benefits for in-system adjustment and calibration applications. They can be controlled through a digital ...

Digital potentiometers are digitally controlled variable resistors that can be used in place of their functionally equivalent mechanical counterparts. While digital potentiometers offer comparable ...

Download the full article as a .PDF, sponsored by Analog What are digital potentiometers, and how are they used? Digital potentiometers are integrated circuits that implement a resistive ladder and a ...

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 ...
