DMS-20LCD Series, 3½ Digit, LCD Display, Digit al 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 incorporate 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 800kΩ.
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.

it to pin 3) turns on the backlighting LED's. For non-backlit
models, pin 9 has no internal connection. All backlit models
include internal current-limiting resistors. With nominal +5V or
9V supplies, backlit devices typically draw 35mA of supply
current. The current drawn by the backlight (and therefore the
current drawn by the meter) can be reduced by installing a 1/4
Watt resistor between pins 3 and 9. The brightness of the meter
will be reduced proportionately.
9V-powered backlit models function with supply voltages up to
+14V, however, activating the backlight with voltages greater than
9.2V can damage the meter. Therefore, a 1/4 Watt series resistor
must be installed between pins 3 and 9 in these situations. The
value of the series resistor is determined using the following
formula:
R
Series = Ohms
+BATTERY – 9.2V
0.035
Example: If +BATTERY (pin 1 with respect to pin 3) is +12.6V,
RSeries = Ohms
+12.6 – 9.2V
0.035
RSeries = 97 Ohms
5. Low Battery Annunciator: The "B" annunciator in the upper
left-hand corner of the display turns on when the supply voltage
for 5V-powered models falls below approximately +3.75V or
when the supply voltage for 9V-powered models falls below
approximately 7.2V. This function can not be disabled.
6. Gain Adjust: There is a gain-adjust potentiometer on the back
of each meter. It has approximately ±50 counts (±2.5%) range of
adjustment. Since these devices essentially have no zero/offset
errors, a gain adjustment is effectively an overall accuracy
adjustment. Though they may be performed at any point (except
zero), accuracy adjustments are most effective when performed
with higher level input signals. The circuit shown in Figure 9
provides ±10% range of adjustment.
7. Soldering Methods: All models in the DMS-20LCD Series
easily withstand most common wave soldering operations. We
recommend, however, that you evaluate the effects your
particular soldering techniques may have on the meter's plastic
case and high-precision electrical performance. We recommend
the use of water-soluble solders and thorough cleaning
procedures.

Applications
DMS-20LCD meters are available in either 5V-powered or 9Vpowered models. 9V devices operate directly from 7.5V to 14V
supplies (usually batteries) without the need for external voltage
regulators. 9V devices, however, can not be used to measure
voltages referenced to the negative battery terminal (pin 3) because
the minus input to the meter (pin 12, (–) INPUT LO) must always be
at least 1.5V above pin 3. 9V-powered meters can only be used to
make differential and not single-ended measurements.
5V-powered devices operate from any well-regulated +5V supply
and will accurately measure voltages both above and below pin 3
(5V RETURN) in either single-ended or differential configurations.
measurements can only be made with 5V-powered meters.
The circuit of Figure 2 avoids problems normally associated
with ground-loop currents. Separate ground runs should be
used for 5V RETURN (pin 3) and (–) INPUT LO (pin 12).
can be made with either 5V-powered or 9V-powered meters.
Figure 3, though not a practical real-world application, uses a
voltage divider to demonstrate the concept of a differential input
signal. Be careful not to exceed the ±2V common mode voltage
limitation for 5V powered meters.

3. Engineering Scaling: For measuring voltages greater than the
full scale input range of a given meter, the input signal must be
attenuated. A simple voltage divider (similar to that shown in
Figure 4) will scale the input to within the range of the selected
meter. R1 and R2 should be precision, ±1%, metal-film resistors
with absolute TCR's less than 50ppm/°C. See Ap Note 4 for more
information on engineering scaling.

4. Floating Signal Source Measurements: Floating signals can
be measured using the circuits shown in Figures 5 and 6. Figure
5 uses a 5V-powered meter. Figure 6 uses a 9V-powered meter.
Connecting pin 10 (ANALOG COMMON) to (–) INPUT LO (pin
12) provides the reference point for the meter's input.
A "floating" input is a signal that has no galvanic connection to
the meter's power supply. In the figures below, the 1.5V battery
illustrates a true floating input.

5. Process Control (4-to-20mA) Measurements: In many
common process-control applications, a 4-to-20mA current loop
is used to transmit information. Because DMS-20LCD meters
have such high input impedance, a simple shunt resistor across
the meter's input can be used to convert the loop current to a
voltage. See Figure 7. The value of the shunt resistor is a

function of the scaling requirements of the particular application and
can be calculated using the following equation:
RShunt = R1 = VFsr /IFsr
Where:VFsr = Full scale reading (in Volts)
Fsr = Relative full scale current (in Amps)
I
Example: For a meter with a 2V full scale input (1.999 full
scale reading) and a desired full scale display reading of
1000 (with an input of 20mA), V
Shunt = 1.000V/(0.020 – 0.004)A
R
Shunt = 1.000V/0.016A = 62.5 Ohms
R
Fsr= 1.000 Volts
To calibrate the circuit of Figure 7, perform the following:
1. With 4mA applied, adjust the 50kΩ potentiometer (R2) to
display a reading of "000" (assuming that is the desired
reading).
2. With 20mA applied, adjust the gain-adjust potentiometer on
the back of the meter to display a reading of "1999". For different
full scale readings, alter the value of R

6. Power Supply Monitoring: A popular application for DATEL's
low-power LCD meters is monitoring the supply voltage in batteryoperated portable equipment. Figure 8 demonstrates how a 9Vpowered DMS-20LCD can be used to monitor its own supply. The
meter used is the DMS-20LCD-1-9. A three-resistor voltage
divider is used to attenuate the battery voltage and also to satisfy
the requirement that the input voltages applied to pins 12 and 11
be at least 1.5 Volts above and below the battery voltage applied
to pins 1 (+BATTERY) and 3 (–BATTERY). The divider should be
designed so that 1/10th the battery voltage falls across the inputs
to the meter:
R2
(R1 + R2 + R3)
= 0.1
Therefore, the 9V battery voltage appears to the meter inputs
as 0.9V. With the decimal point moved to its DP2 position
(pin 5 tied to pin 3), the meter reads 9.00 Volts.
The circuit can be calibrated by first measuring the actual
battery voltage with another meter and then adjusting the gainadjust potentiometer on the back of the DMS-20LCD until a
similar reading is obtained. If possible, the resistors in the
divider should be ±1% metal-film types with TCR's less than
50ppm/°C.
