MILPITAS, Calif.–July 17, 2003–Xicor, Inc. (NASDAQ: XICO), a leading supplier of high-performance analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits, announced the first family of twin-wiper digitally ...

Today, potentiometers dominate the market for linear and rotary path and position sensing. That is not to say that there aren’t other position-measuring systems available on the market (see Table 1), ...

While almost always called "potentiometers" (which are technically defined as three-terminal variable voltage dividers), many "pots" actually end up being used as variable resistors (rheostats) ...

A three-wire bus is commonly used to control digitally controlled potentiometers (DCPs). One example of this type of bus is Xicor's 32-tap X9315 (U3), shown in the figure. This asynchronous bus has no ...

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 ...

LSI Computer Systems (LSI/CSI) has created a family of 63 tap (6bit) digital potentiometers for direct connection to quadrature decoders, push buttons, GPIOs or SPI serial controls. Debounce circuits ...
