Calculating the change in output voltage as temperature changes the control feedback resistance

I am trying to calculate the new output voltage when the temperature changes the resistance of the feedback network which sets the output voltage. I have this circuit using the MCP16311/2 buck ...

Very high resistance

I'm playing around with a very simple setup: 9V battery light diode voltage divider (R1 - three 1 kOhm resistors, R2 - one 1 kOhm resistor), which should give me roughly 3V for the diode The first ...

Advice on a voltage measuring circuit

I've been working on a voltage divider circuit that will hopefully allow me to measure voltages between 0-60 kV DC (80 W) as 0-889 volts DC. The voltage divider section that is used to measure the ...

The effect of combined resistors?

I need to convert 5v to 3.3v, easy. I need an 2k resistor though so i looked if two 1k resistors could achieve the same effect. I found pretty contradictory information on the subject though, could ...

Making a voltage drop while providing high current - how does this work?

I have a USB power source at 5V which needs to power a chip at ideally 4V (4.4V max) - but I need to be able to supply 2A of current for the "spike" current draws for the chip. In general the chip ...

Cermet potentiometer temperature coefficients

I'm engineering a system that is temperature-sensitive, between ~-10-30C. I've moved to using cermet potentiometers because of their sub-200PPM/C temperature coefficients. If I wire such a pot with ...
