Figure 1. DMS-20LCD Series Simplified Schematic
DMS-20LCD Series, 3½ Digit, LCD Display, Digital Voltmeters represent the
ultimate combination of low price, low power, small size and high performance in digital
meters. Epoxy encapsulated in a subminiature (1.38" x 0.88" x 0.43"), 12-pin DIP
package, these completely self-contained, fully operational meters offer a combination
of ruggedness, long-term reliability and component-like ease-of-use simply not
available in any other meters.
Incorporating a precision reference and a factory-calibrated, autozeroing A/D
converter, DMS-20LCD meters are extremely accurate (±1 count) and are only slightly
larger than their 0.37"/9.4mm, enhanced-contrast, LCD displays. All models incorpo-
rate a built-in bezel and are easily mounted in either panels or pc boards. Both backlit
and non-backlit versions are available.
DMS-20LCD meters have 4 differential input voltage ranges (±200mV, ±2V, ±20V
and ±200V) and a user-friendly input structure. Input impedance is a minimum 800k
Ω.
CMRR is typically 86dB with a CMV of ±2V. Non-inverting inputs are overvoltage
protected to ±100V (±250V for the ±200V input model).
All DMS-20LCD meters operate from a single +5V supply (drawing 400µA) or a
single +9V supply/battery (drawing 230µA). All models have a low-battery ("B")
annunciator and feature autopolarity changeover and overrange indication.
Also available is an application/evaluation board (DMS-EB2) that plugs directly onto
the back of any DMS-20LCD allowing direct inputs for common applications such as
4-20mA inputs, zero/gain adjust, decimal point location, and input voltage dividing.
