Digital potentiometers (dpots) are ubiquitous components available in a variety of packages, resistances, and resolutions. However, few implement anything but the usual linear function of resistance ...

Small, resilient and easy to use, digital potentiometers are becoming widely accepted as replacements for mechanical potentiometers, especially in volume-control applications. In this type of audio ...

Catalyst Semiconductor’s CAT5116 is a new Digitally Programmable Potentiometer (DPP™) integrated circuit (IC) for the audio and optical equipment markets. The CAT5116 features a 100-tap, log-taper ...

Those twisty knobs connected to potentiometers aren’t necessarily a strict linear progression from one resistance to another. Potentiometers have a taper. Yes, sometimes it’s a linear taper that’s a ...
