The characteristics of the wiper are determined by the
characteristics of the wiper switch at each of the
resistor networks tap points.
example of a wiper switch. As the device operational
voltage becomes lower, the characteristics of the wiper
switch change due to a lower voltage on the V

When the transistor is turned off, the switch resistance
is in the Giga Ωs. When the transistor is turned on, the
switch resistance is dependent on the V
