I am hoping to control a 60V DC input source dynamically using my Arduino so that the output voltage could vary between 0v to 60v. At first i was looking into digital potential meter, however I couldn't find any digital pot that can support 60V DC input voltage. I have came across a few articles with similar situation (but theirs with lower voltage).

Could anyone suggest any solution to my problem? Thanks. Any help is much appreciated.

  • You could use a 5V digital pot, or a 5V DAC. Then feed that through an OpAmp to convert the 0-5V to a 0-60V output. Commented Feb 29, 2020 at 11:28
  • @Gerben could you guide me on how to design /which kind of opAmp that can step up from 5v to 60v? I tried googling but none of them step up from 5 to 60. Thanks in advance Commented Feb 29, 2020 at 13:13
  • Try asking at electronics.stackexchange.com . This isn't really my area of expertise. Commented Mar 1, 2020 at 14:18
  • Does your voltage source just have to output a voltage or does it need to drive any significant current (i.e. do you want to use it as a power supply)? BTW please be careful with these relatively high voltages. They can easily damage your Arduino and can be very unpleasant to touch. Commented Mar 30, 2020 at 14:54
  • @StarCat thank you for your comment, i am looking at a current around/less than 0.1 A Commented Mar 30, 2020 at 15:49

  • Can this be used to control output voltage real time? Commented Feb 29, 2020 at 7:42
  • I don't see how this answers the question. This module does not do what @jetjetboi wants. I would also advise against buying a random module off aliexpress with no documentation. Commented Mar 30, 2020 at 14:51
