While reading this description, refer to the schematic diagram in Chapter 5.
2-4. Voltage Signal Condi t ioning
Input divider Z1 and dc blocking capacitor C1 make up an input voltage signal
conditioning circuit.
2-3
Page 21
77 Series III
Service Manual
The pins of Z1 are used as follows:
Z1-PIN NUMBERFUNCTION
1input
33.2V range tap
432V range tap
5320V range tap
61000V dc/750V ac range tap
Overvoltage protection is provided by R1, RV1, RV2, RV3, and RT1.
RT1 is a thermistor that normally has about 1 kΩ of resistance, but increases
to very high impedance as it heats up with an overload voltage. R1 provides
current limiting for the input until RT1 heats up. In an overload condition,
RV1, RV2, and RV3 clamp the voltage at the switch to approximately 2000V.
2-5. Current Conditioning
Current input conditioning is provided by R6, R7, R5 and R13. R6 and R7
develop input voltage from the applied current. R5 and R13 act as a voltage
divider for the 300-mA range. F1 protects the mA circuitry; F3 protects the
10A circuitry.
2-6. Ohms
When the ohms function is selected, the meter compares the unknown
resistance at J1 with the reference resistors in Z1.
Input protection for the ohms ranges consists of Q1, Q2, Q3, R1, R2, R3, R4,
and RT1. Q1 and Q2 serve as back-to-back zener diodes which limit the input
to between 7 and 9V. Also, R2 R3, and R4 limit current, and Q3 clamps pin
29 of U1 to approximately 2.5V.
2-7. Additional Circuitry
In addition to the above circuitry, the following circuitry is also used in the
Series II meters: AC Converter, Active Filter, Rotary Switch, and A/D
Conversion.
2-8. AC Converter
The ratio of R17 and R18 determines ac voltage and current accuracy (see
Figure 2-2, AC and A/D Converter), and C11 is the averaging capacitor for
the half-wave ac converter portion of U1.
2-4
Page 22
Theory of Operation
Detailed Description
2-9. Active Filter
An active filter that includes R9, R10, C5, and C6 is located in U1.
Conditioned input signals are passed through the active filter in route to the
a/d converter section of U1. (See Figure 2-2, AC and A/D Converter.)
The clock frequency for the digital portion of the circuit is a function of
32.768-kHz crystal Y1. Y1, C12, C15, and amplifiers in U1 make up the
oscillator circuit.
2-10. Rotary Switch
Rotary switch S1 FRONT selects and routes the input signals. Function codes
for switch S1 REAR are shown in Table 2-1. Range switch S2 signals the
microcomputer U2 for the manual ranging and automatic Touch Hold
function.
CR1 acts as protection for U1 if the battery is installed backwards. C2 is part
of the power-on reset for microcomputer U2.
2-11. A/D Conversion
Analog-to-digital (a/d) conversion is accomplished within U1 using a
modified dualslope a/d converter circuit. (See Figure 2-2, AC and A/D
Converter.)
2
Since the a/d conversion process is essentially a dual slope method, two
voltages are required to complete a measurement cycle. One is the unknown
input and the other is the reference voltage.
2-5
Page 23
77 Series III
Service Manual
Conditioned input signals are routed to the a/d converter in U1, where they are
integrated. The reference voltage developed by reference supply VR1, R15,
R16, and R8 is routed to the a/d converter in U1, where it is used for the
integrate reference (de-integrate) portions of the measurement cycle.
C7 stores offsets of the buffer, integrator, and comparator amplifiers of the a/d
converter. The gain of the buffer is determined by the resistors of Z1 between
pins 8, 9, and 10. C8 is the integrator capacitor.
A series of 10 minor cycle conversions occurs without taking time for an
autozero phase between the conversions. These minor cycle conversions, or
samples, occur at a rate of 25 per second, and are used to provide the fast
response bar-graph display and fast autoranging.
New samples are taken every 40 ms. Ten samples are summed to produce a
full- resolution digital display, with full scale greater than 3200 counts. A 50ms autozero phase occurs following every 10 sample sequence.
