Voltage divider equation:
Vout = Vs × (R2) / (R1 + R2)
If there are multiple resistors such as in a voltage divider network, then all the resistors above and below the node of interest must be accounted for:
Vout = Vs × (Rbelow) / (Rabove + Rbelow)
Where:
Rbelow = The combined resistance of all the resistors below the node.
Rabove = The combined resistance of all the resistors above the node.
R1:
R1 = (R2Vs − R2Vout) / (Vout)
For multiple resistors in the network below the node use:
R1 = (RbelowVs − RbelowVout) / (Vout)
Voltage dividers are used to:
- Reduce the amplitude of a signal or voltage.
- Create a reference voltage.
