Resistor Voltage Divider. A voltage divider is a very basic circuit when it comes to circuit design. As the name suggests voltage divider the circuit that divides the input voltage into the required levels.
Resistor voltage dividers are commonly used to create reference voltages or to reduce the magnitude of a voltage so it can be measured and may also be used as signal attenuators at low frequencies. The divide down ratio is determined by two resistors. A voltage divider is a general term one can use a potentiometer for voltage division but the type we will restrict ourselves in this post is resistors based voltage division.
The divide down ratio is determined by two resistors.
As the name suggests voltage divider the circuit that divides the input voltage into the required levels. The potentiometer which is a variable resistor with a sliding contact is the most basic example of a voltage divider as we can apply a voltage across its terminals and produce an output voltage in proportion to the mechanical position of its sliding contact. The divide down ratio is determined by two resistors. Written by willy mcallister.
