Częste błędy do unikania
- ✕Not buffering voltage divider with low-impedance load
- ✕Using very small resistor values (excessive power)
Często zadawane pytania
What affects voltage divider accuracy?
Load impedance (must be much higher than resistor values), temperature stability, resistor tolerance.
How do I buffer a voltage divider?
Use op-amp buffer to isolate divider from load; prevents voltage drop under load.
