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 ...

Digitally controlled potentiometers (DCPs) have become very popular in a wide variety of applications including control, parameter adjustment, and signal processing. The digital pots replace ...

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 ...
