voltageDivider

import electronics.rlc.resistorDividers-1;


voltageDivider(
 5V, // input voltage
 1.2V, // desired output voltage
 100kOhm // order of magnitude for the divider
)

The difference bethween the voltage divider and the reisistor divider above is that in this case, the output voltage and its errors are given instead of the resulting division ratio.

The result is an array containing the matching resistor pairs, output voltages, and the error in percents:

rUpper - The value for the upper resistor in the divider.
rLower - The value for the lower resistor in the divider.
errorPercent - The error of the divider in percents.
vout - The output voltage in case of ideal resistors.
voutMin - The worst case voltage minimum considering given resistor tolerances.
voutMax - The worst case voltage maximum considering given resistor tolerances.

vin	Input voltage.
vout	Desired output voltage.
resitorOrderOfMagnitude	The order of magnitude for the resistors (optional). If not given, one resistor will be in 1-10Ohm range.
maxTolerance	Maximum tolerance allowed for ideal resistor case (optional). If not given, 1% is used.
resistorTolerance	The tolerance of the used resistors (optional). Used for calculation of worst case values. If not given, 1% is used.
series	The resistor series to use. If not given, E24 is used.
return value	Array of realisable voltage dividers.
