[Lee] wrote in to share the work he’s done in building a controller for his soldering iron. The idea started when he was working with an ATX power supply. He figured if it works as a makeshift bench ...

The classic potentiometer (pot) has been used successfully in electronics system designs for decades: its strengths and weaknesses are very well understood. But what if the pot were able to be ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The Model P270 27-mm rotary potentiometer has a life cycle of up to 1 million rotations and targets such applications as hydraulic-valve controllers for heavy equipment. The Model P270 27-mm rotary ...

A circuit used to control the level of a video signal should have a 3-dB cutoff frequency of greater than 5 MHz for a television application or 100 MHz for a monitor application. CMOS-based digital ...
