The DMS-30PC Series is a broad line of self-contained, fully operational, 3½
digit voltmeters with large, easy-to-read LED displays. The 0.56"(14.2mm) high
LED's are available in a wide variety of colors including red, orange, amber, yellow,
green, aqua and blue. A high-intensity version of the red display is optional as are
low-power versions of the red, orange and green displays.
The small size (2.17" x 0.92" x 0.56") of DMS-30PC meters is achieved by
integrating their display, display drivers, reference circuit, and A/D converter into in a
single, epoxy-encapsulated assembly. The device's 12-pin, component-like, DIP
package is both vibration and moisture proof. Each package incorporates a built-in
color filter and bezel and is easily mounted in either panels or pc cards.
These meters are available in four differential input voltage ranges (±200mV,
±2V, ±20V and ±200V). Input impedance is 1,000 megohms f or the ±200mV and
±2V inputs and 1 megohm for the ±20V and ±200V inputs. CMRR for all devices is
86dB, and inputs are overvoltage protected to ±250V.
Each meter incorporates an extremely stable, double-regulated reference and is
fully calibrated prior to potting. We guarantee outstanding initial accuracy (±1 count)
and excellent stability (±0.15 counts/°C). All models operate from a single +5V
supply, and the low-power models draw as little as 10mA (50mW total power). A
DISPLAY TEST function is standard on each device.
For popular applications (4-to-20mA, rms-to-dc conversion, ac line power, J and
K thermocouples, etc.), the DMS-30PC Series includes a complete line of optional
"plug-on" application boards that conveniently convert your meter into an application-specific instrument.

Te chnical Notes
1. +1.23V REFERENCE OUTPUT (Pin 9): This pin is the output of the
meter’s precision +1.23V internal reference, and it is referenced to
ANALOG COMMON (pin 10) which sits at a potential of approximately +2V. This output should be buffered if used to drive external
loads since sourcing more than 15µA from pin 9 can affect both the
initial accuracy and temperature drift of the meter.
2. ANALOG COMMON (Pin 10): This pin is connected to an internal,
low-noise, "relative" ground. It is used in cer tain differential and
"floating" measurements as described in the Applications section of
this data sheet and Ap Note 3 of the DATEL Panel Meter Catalog.
Pin 10 should not be connected to pin 3 (5V RETURN) or to your
system’s analog ground.
3. REFERENCE OUTPUT (Pin 8) and INPUT (Pin 7): Pin 8 is a
precision reference actively trimmed at the factory. In normal
operation, pin 8 must be tied to pin 7 to achieve all listed accuracy
and drift specifications.

4. DISPLA Y TEST (Pin 2): Connecting pin 2 to +5V SUPPLY (pin
1) will activate all LED segments, except the decimal points, and
the display will read "1888" regardless of the actual applied input.
If a negative input is applied, DISPLAY TEST will also activate
the minus sign. To protect the LED's, the display should not
be left in the "test" mode for more than 10 seconds.
5. Decimal Point Placement: The location of the decimal point is
user-selectable, and the decimal point control pins (DP1-DP3)
are active low functions. Select the desired decimal point by
tying the appropriate pin (pin 4, 5 or 6) to pin 3 (5V RETURN).
Unused decimal point location pins should be left open.
Hard wiring is preferable, however, you can use logic gates to
exercise dynamic control over the location of the decimal point if
the following drive conditions are met:
ModelApplied "0" Voltage Load Current*
DMS-30PC-X-RL+0.05V max.0.7mA max.
DMS-30PC-X-BS+0.3V max.18mA max.
All Others+0.4V max.6mA max.
* The driving gates must be able to sink this much current
OL) with a logic "0" output.

6. Gain Adjust: There is a gain-adjust potentiometer on the back
of each meter. It has approximately ±50 counts (±2.5%) of
adjustment range. 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 10
provides ±10% range of adjustment.
7. Soldering Methods: All models in the DMS-30PC Series easily
withstand most common wave soldering operations. We
recommend, however, that you evaluate the effects y our
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-30PC meters are highly versatile devices that can be used in
hundreds of applications. The application circuits chosen for this
section have historically received many inquiries. Every attempt has
been made to ensure technical accuracy, and all of the following
circuits have been prototyped and tested to ensure functionality.
Please keep in mind, however, that real-world applications are
seldom as straightforward as the approaches presented here. Most
applications have many more components — and many more
connections — than the illustrations show.
The simplified schematic shown in Figure 1 can be very useful when
debugging a malfunctioning panel meter circuit, particularly if the
user has some knowledge of operational amplifiers (op amps). The
meter's high-impedance input consists of an op amp powered from a
±5Vdc power supply (the –5V is internally generated). Knowing this,
one can easily see why input signals applied to (–) INPUT LO and
(+) INPUT HI have to be kept within the power supply rails of ±5V.
Also note that only pin 11 has a current-limiting 909kΩ series
resistor. High input voltages that have a common ground with pin 3
(5V RETURN) should only be applied to pin 11 ((+) INPUT HI) and
never to pin 12. In these high-voltage cases, pin 12 should always
be tied to pin 3 (5V RETURN).
One of the simplified schematic's noteworthy features is that it
shows internal voltage values. It also shows that pin 3 is the meter's
zero-volt reference point — regardless of the type of power or signal
source used. This is an important point to keep in mind when a
digital or analog multimeter is used to make system measurements.
The multimeter's negative lead (usually the black one) must be
connected to pin 3 (5V RETURN).
1. Single-Ended Input Configurations: True single-ended
measurements can be made with any DMS-30PC meter. 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). This will ensure
that large LED currents will not flow in the wiring that connects
IN to (–) INPUT LO (pin 12). Ground-loop currents can cause
V
unstable readings.

2. Differential Input Configurations: Differential measurements
can be made with all DMS-30PC 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 5Vpowered 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.
Connecting pin 10 (ANALOG COMMON) or pin 3 (5V RETURN)
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-30PC 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:
Shunt = R1 = VFsr/IFsr
R
Where:VFsr = Full scale reading (in Volts)
I
Fsr = Relative full scale current (in Amps)

Applications
DMS-30PC
Example: For a meter with a 2V full scale input (1.999 full
scale reading) and a desired display reading of
"1000" (with an input of 20mA), VFsr= 1.000 Volts
R
Shunt = 1.000V/(0.020 – 0.004)A
RShunt = 1.000V/0.016A = 62.5 Ohms
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 "1000". For
different full scale readings, alter the value of RShunt accordingly.

three-terminal regulators, be sure to consult the regulator
manufacturer's data sheet to ensure the regulator is being
utilized safely and correctly.
7. Digital Ammeter: Digital ammeters are finding ever-increasing
usage because analog-style ammeters (moving-vane types) now
cost roughly the same as their digital counterparts. Additionally,
analog ammeters are not nearly as rugged as modern digital
panel voltmeters. Figure 9 illustrates a typical ammeter
application. The circuit uses a ±200mV input meter
— the preferred range for most ammeters — to measure the
voltage developed across a 0.1Ω current shunt. The circuit
shown represents a basic ammeter connection diagram. A
detailed application note describing digital dc ammeters is
included in DATEL's new Digital Panel Meter Databook.

6. Power Supply Monitoring: One of the most common digital
panel meter applications involves monitoring the output voltage of
the system power supply — often this supply also powers the
meter itself. The low-power, red LED DMS-30PC-2-RL can be
configured to allow power supply monitoring over the range of
4.5-18Vdc. The circuit in Figure 8 uses a low-drop-out, threeterminal regulator (LM-2931Z-5, available from National
Semiconductor) to provide regulated 5V power to the meter. The
LM-2931 was chosen because it has the following on-chip
