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.
