Voltage Divider Module for boards compatible with Arduino
A voltage divider is a simple circuit which turns a large voltage into a smaller one. Using just two series resistors and an input voltage, we can create an output voltage that is a fraction of the input. Voltage dividers are one of the most fundamental circuits in electronics.
A Voltage Divider Module compatible with Arduino facilitates the scaling down of voltage levels from higher to lower values using a network of resistors connected in series. This module typically features an input terminal for the higher voltage source and an output terminal for the scaled-down voltage. Designed for seamless integration with Arduino microcontrollers, it enables easy interfacing via digital or analog pins. By leveraging the voltage division ratio established by the resistors, the module ensures accurate scaling of voltages for diverse applications, such as sensor interfacing and signal conditioning. However, users must exercise caution to avoid exceeding the module’s maximum voltage rating and consider the tolerance of the resistors for optimal performance. Overall, the Voltage Divider Module serves as a valuable tool in Arduino projects, offering a practical solution for voltage level adaptation.
Specification/Features:
- Input Voltage Range: Typically supports input voltages up to a certain maximum value, such as 25V or 30V, to ensure safe operation.
- Output Voltage Range: Provides a scaled-down output voltage within a specified range, often from 0V to the maximum input voltage.
- Voltage Division Ratio: Specifies the ratio at which the input voltage is divided to produce the output voltage. Common ratios include 1:2, 1:3, or customizable ratios using adjustable resistors.
- Accuracy and Tolerance: Defines the accuracy of voltage division and the tolerance of the resistors used in the module. Higher tolerance resistors offer more precise voltage scaling.
- Resistor Values: Lists the values of the resistors used in the voltage divider network. These values determine the voltage division ratio and influence the module’s accuracy.
- Maximum Current Handling: Indicates the maximum current that can safely flow through the module without causing damage to the resistors or other components.
- Interface Compatibility: Compatible with Arduino boards, allowing easy connection via digital or analog pins for voltage monitoring or other applications.
- Dimensions and Mounting: Provides dimensions of the module and details regarding its mounting options, such as PCB mounting holes or enclosure compatibility.
- Operating Temperature Range: Specifies the temperature range within which the module can operate reliably without performance degradation or damage.
