How to generate evenly-spaced config voltages from standard DIP switches using only passive resistors?

I am designing a circuit involving an LTC4316, which is configured by providing one of sixteen analog voltages on each of the XORH and XORL pins to set the upper and lower nibbles of its configuration ...

Determining poles and zeros from those of interconnected two-port networks

My goal is to find the poles and zeros of a large network. Specifically a cascade connection of series C's and shunt L's. One could also consider this a CL Ladder circuit. I am interested in ...

Frequency-dependent behavior of a resistor in time domain simulation

I know for a fact that to take into account frequency-dependent behavior in time domain simulation, equivalent electrical networks that reproduce the same frequency behavior are used, as it happens, ...

What is the point of this resistor network?

What is the purpose of this resistor network? Why not just use one resistor? or connect the cathode of RA93 diode directly to the mosfet drain (this mosfet is high side of the h-bridge). It seems to ...

Any way to build Analogue Multiplexers using MOSFETs or JFETs or BJTs

Here's my requirement: I need an analogue switch that can do SPST/DPST/DPDT with very low On-Resistance (<10mOhms). There would be current flowing through this switch, albeit in the range of a <...

Proving the output voltage of a resistor ladder only with usage of currents

I got the following problem. I would like to prove the the output voltage \$U_{aus}\$ of the following system. I only want to prove it by using currents. So I don't want to use the formula for a ...

Using resistor networks as voltage ladder

Are there resistor networks which could function as a pre-made voltage ladder? In other words are there variations on how the resistor network is assembled, ie in series or parallel? I've found these ...

Logarithmically-spaced resistances using switches

If you want a linearly-spaced set of resistances, you can use a ladder of logarithmically-spaced resistors and short out different combinations, as described here. Is there a way to get a ...
