The circuit of a voltage divider may be drawn with the two resistors vertical, not horizontal. If there are two resistors in series across a voltage source, then the circuit is a voltage divider.

M1, D1, L1, C1, and RL are essentially the same as the basic buck circuit seen last time. The difference is that R2 and R3 form a voltage divider that ... didn’t show any series resistance ...

The supply voltage is shared between components in a series circuit, so the sum of the voltages across all of the components in a series circuit is equal to the supply voltage, \({V_s}\).

The simplest circuit uses a pair of diodes with careful biasing and choice of series resistor ... of a resistive divider with that impedance having an effect on the output voltage.
