Help: Need DC Voltage Reducer
I have a DC circuit powered by a 9v battery and I need to power a 1.5v
timer from the same battery. Is there a simple way to reduce the 9v to
1.5v? I have seen the voltage divider circuit in the Forrest Mims book
from Radio Shack: Two resistors in series are connected to the two
terminals of a battery. V+ out is taken from between the two resistors,
V- from the neg. battery contact. V out is determined by the values of
the resistors. I have no problem doing the math, but wouldn't that
circuit short out the battery?
Thanks,
Greg
