* ACCESSORY HARDWARE AVAILABLE FOR PANEL MOUNTING SUB-CUB 2
DESCRIPTION
As a completely self-contained counter/display module, SCUB1/SCUB2 (5 V)
and SCUB1LV (3.3 V) can be treated like an I.C. The module contains a custom
counter/driver chip that performs all the counting functions together with a
6-digit LCD readout. The latchable display with the separate reset function
permits the module to be used as frequency or rate meter, timer, phase-angle or
pulse width indicator and for other complex readout requirements in addition to
simple high speed counting.
The module is ideal for internal “on-board” applications where a readout of
count, frequency, time, etc. is needed within a circuit enclosure for

kit to provide a very flexible and econmical panel instrument.
SUB-CUBs snap-mount directly on any 1/16" P.C. board that has been etched
to provide a mating interconnect pad pattern with two mounting holes and a
polarizing “key” hole. Interconnections to the P.C. Board as well as internal
connections are made with elastomeric connectors that provide corrosion-proof,
gas tight, interface contacts for high reliability.
MOUNTING & DIMENSIONS
Snap in mounting on the P.C. Board is facilitated by two, split, lock-ramp pins
which engage mounting holes drilled in the P.C. Board. The silicone rubber
elastomeric connectors compress to accommodate P.C. Board thickness variation
of ±0.005" (0.13 mm).

without excessive tin-lead build-up. (Layout views are from SUB-CUB
RESET (R) - CMOS, Schmidt Trigger; counter is reset to zero when input is
low. Counter should always be reset to zero whenever power is first applied
to the unit.
LATCH (L) - CMOS, Schmidt Trigger; when pulled low, the latches are
transparent and display is updated as new counts are received. When latch
input is pulled high, the display registers count existing immediately prior to
activating the latch.
TEST (T) - CMOS, Schmidt Trigger; Input must be connected to VDD. This
input is used by manufacturer during factory testing.
VDD - +VDC Supply.
VSS - Common for D.C. Supply and Inputs.
* All unused inputs must be tied to either VDD or VSS, whichever is appropriate.

CAUTION
This device contains CMOS circuitry which requires special anti-static
handling to the same degree required by standard CMOS integrated circuits.
Units should be stored in the conductive packaging used to ship the devices.
Containers should be opened and units handled only on a conductive table
top by personnel wearing wrist-strap grounding equipment. These devices
have the same protection circuits as standard CMOS devices to prevent

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
OR PERIOD
COUNT & CONTROL FROM REMOTE INPUTS
Inputs to SUB-CUB are CMOS inputs and must be adequately buffered if
remote “off-board” signal sources are used. This illustration shows a SUBCUB being used in an elementary counting application to depict some of the
buffering methods that can be used.
The Count Input is buffered by the NPN Transistor input circuit. The base
resistance is split into two 10 K resistors, with a filter cap to eliminate spurious
counts due to electrical interference pickup. The filter network will allow count
rates to 10 KHz with Symetrical +5 V input count pulses. The 4.7 K across the
input would not be required if the circuit supplying the count pulses has a low
off-state output impedance.
The Remote Button-actuated Reset input is buffered by a simple RC circuit
consisting of two 47 K resistors and a 0.01 µf capacitor.
FREQUENCY, SPEED, FLOW, SPEED-RATIO,
PERIOD & CYCLE TIME INDICATIONS
This circuit uses a dual monostable I.C. to generate the proper latch and reset
coordination required for frequency or time-period readouts.
When frequency readout is desired, the pulse train whose frequency is to be
displayed, is applied to the CLK-A input, (the inverter, in the CLK-A input,
causes the SUB-CUB to increment on the positive going edge of CLK-A pulses
and can be onitted if negative edge incrementing is satisfactory). The CLK-B
input is supplied with standard time-base pulses whose period determines the
measuring time. For frequency measurement, this time is 1 second so CLK-B
input would be supplied with 1 pulse/sec. from a crystal clock or line-reference
divider. At the positive going edge of each CLK-B pulse, the first monostable
opens the SUB-CUB latch momentarily to update the display to the count
existing at that instant of time. Immediately after the latch closes, freezing the
updated count on the display, the internal counter in the SUB-CUB display is
reset to zero in preparation for a new counting cycle. Thus, at the end of each
measuring time interval the SUB-CUB display is updated to readout the number
of pulses received during the period, while it is accumulating new counts for the
next update.
Frequency ratio can be displayed by replacing the standard time-base (CLK-B) input with a pulse train related to the second variable (or denominator) of
the ratio. Normally this pulse train is divided by 10, 100, or 1000 before being
applied to the CLK-B input to provide a higher resolution reading.
For period or cycle-time indication, CLK-A and B inputs are simply
interchanged. CLK-A input is now supplied with standard Clock Pulses, say 1
Hz to readout in seconds, while the pulse train whose period is being measured
is applied to the CLK-B input.

PULSE WIDTH OR DWELL-TIME READOUT
This circuit also uses two monostables, however for pulse-width readout they
function at two different times.
A train of standard clock pulses, whose period determines the readout
increments, is applied to the CLK-A input. For example if readout in seconds is
desired, CLK-A would receive 1 pulse/second, or 1 Hz The pulse whose width
is to be measured is applied to CLK-B input. At the positive going edge of the
CLK-B pulse, the first monostable momentarily resets the SUB-CUB internal
counter to zero, and it then begins accumulating counts from the CLK-A time
reference pulses. At the conclusion of the CLK-B pulse, the negative going
edge momentarily opens the SUB-CUB display latch, and the number of timereference pulses that have been counted, since reset, is latched on the display to
provide a direct readout of CLK-B pulse-width.
