Voltage Divider Circuit Diagram Template

Edit and simulate a two-resistor voltage divider with an input source, midpoint output, and return reference.

What the template contains

• Input voltage source
• Upper resistor
• Lower resistor
• Midpoint output net
• Ground reference

Best used for

• Learning divider ratio and loading
• Generating a reference or scaled measurement input
• Comparing hand calculations with DC operating-point analysis

Checks before issue

• Include the input impedance of the connected load.
• Check resistor tolerance, dissipation, noise, and source impedance.
• Do not use a divider as a regulated power supply for a varying load.

Engineering boundary

The unloaded divider equation is only a starting point. Add the real load and tolerance limits before using the result in a design.

Open this template in the editor. Confirm the electrical design, ratings, terminals, protection, and applicable standards before construction.
