DMS-40PC Series

4½ Digit, LED Display Digital Panel Voltmeters

MPM_DMS-40PC.D02 Page 1 of 6

DMS-40PC Series, 4½ Digit, LED Display, Miniature DPM’s are fully self-contained,

component-like, plug-in meters that provide scientiﬁ c-grade accuracy (typically ±2 counts

or ±0.005% of full scale) and outstanding reliability at a very affordable price.

Within its miniature (2.17” x 0.92” x 0.56”), epoxy-encapsulated package, each meter

contains a precision reference circuit; a high-resolution, autozeroing, factory-calibrated

A/D converter; and a large (0.52”/13.2mm), easy-to-read, LED display. LED’s are available

in red, yellow and green colors. Red LED’s are also offered in high-intensity or low-power

versions.

The versatile design of the DMS-40PC Series assures trouble-free installation and

long-term operation. Differential input voltage ranges include ±2V, ±20V and ±200V. Input

impedance is a minimum 800kΩ. Non-inverting inputs are overvoltage protected to ±250V,

and CMRR is typically 86dB (dc to 60Hz).

The DMS-40PC's epoxy-encapsulated package has an integral bezel and color ﬁ lter.

The moisture and vibration-proof package is extremely rugged and well suited for harsh

environments and extended temperatures. Devices are fully speciﬁ ed for

0 to +50°C operation.

All models operate from a single +5V supply and typically consume 500mW. Low-

power models, whose display is just as bright as standard models, typically consume

175mW. DISPLAY TEST and HOLD functions are standard on each meter, and a complete set

of BCD outputs are optional for sending data to CPU's or remote displays.

Performance/Functional Speciﬁ cations

Typical at TA = +25°C and supply voltage = +5V using the single-ended input

circuit, unless otherwise noted.

➀ Applies for transient or continuous overvoltages applied to (+) INPUT HI (pin 11) with (–)

INPUT LO (pin 12) properly connected. Pin 12 is not overvoltage protected (see Figure 1).

Voltages applied to pin 12 should not exceed the supply voltage.

➁ See Technical Notes.

➂ BCD outputs are optional and must be speciﬁ ed in the part number.

See Ordering Information.

➃ Includes high-intensity and BCD-output models.

1. ANALOG COMMON (Pin 10): This pin is an internal, low-noise

ground for the DMS-40PC. It is internally connected to pin 3

(5V RETURN). Do not connect pin 10 to either pin 3 or your system

ground as this will create a ground loop and possibly result in errone-

ous readings.

2. REFERENCE INPUT/OUTPUT (Pin 7): This pin accesses the meter’s

internal reference and is used during the factory calibration proce-

dure. Pin 7 should be left open in most common applications. It can

be used in certain “ratiometric” applications in which it is desirable

for the meter’s reference to track an external reference. See Ap Note

DMS-AN3 at http://www.murata-ps.com/data/meters/dms-an3.pdf.

3. DISPLAY TEST (Pin 2): Connecting pin 2 to ground (pin 3, 5V

RETURN) will activate all LED segments, and the display will read

“–18888” regardless of the actual applied input. To reduce self-

heating, the display should not be left in the “test” mode for more

than 10 seconds. This pin should be left open if unused.

TECHNICAL NOTES

show up as unstable display readings. When an input signal, assumed to

be exactly zero volts, has a 1mV (0.001V) ground-loop induced offset, it

is displayed as “0010” on a ±2V input-range meter! See Ap Note DMS-

AN2 at http://www.murata-ps.com/data/meters/dms-an2.pdf describing

power supply wiring and ground loop avoidance techniques.

The DMS-40PC’s simpliﬁ ed schematic, shown in Figure 1, can be very

useful when debugging a malfunctioning circuit, especially if the user

has some knowledge of operational ampliﬁ ers (op amps). The meter’s

high-impedance input consists of an op amp powered from a ±5Vdc

power supply (the –5V is internally generated). Figure 1 shows that input

signals applied to (–) INPUT LO and (+) INPUT HI must to be kept within

the ±5V power-supply rails. Also note that only pin 11 has a current-

limiting 909kΩ series resistor. High input voltages that have a common

ground connection 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 simpliﬁ ed schematic’s more noteworthy features is that it

shows some DMS-40PC internal voltage values and also 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

using digital multimeters to perform system-level measurements. The

multimeter’s negative lead (usually the black one) must always be con-

nected to pin 3 (5V RETURN). This is the only way accurate readings can

be made, particularly if the meter is conﬁ gured for a differential input and

concerns arise regarding common-mode voltages.

1. Single-Ended Input Conﬁ gurations: The DMS-40PC can measure

single-ended signals with either positive or negative polarities. True

single-ended inputs always have one of their two terminals at the

same potential as the DMS-40PC’s 5V RETURN (pin 3). Single-ended

inputs are usually derived from power supplies that have a common

ground with the meter’s +5V supply. Figure 2 shows the recom-

mended connections to be used with this type of input. Pin 12, (–)

INPUT LO, is shown directly tied to ground. This connection to ground

must be a separate wire or pc-board trace originating at VIN’s negative

terminal. This hook-up will normally eliminate display instabilities and

errors caused by ground-loop currents which can occur if

(–) INPUT LO is tied to ground at, or near, pin 3.

Hard wiring is preferable, however, you can exercise dynamic control

over the location of the decimal point by employing drive circuits that

are capable of sinking a minimum of 20mA at voltages less than +0.4

Volts.

6. Gain Adjust: There is a gain-adjust potentiometer on the back of

each meter. It has approximately ±150 counts of adjustment range.

Since these meters 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 adjust-

ments are most effective when performed with higher level input

signals.

7. Soldering Methods: All models in the DMS-40PC Series easily

withstand most common wave soldering operations. We recom-

mend, 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 no-clean solders.

8. Suggested Mating Connectors:

DMS-40PC Series meters are high-precision versatile devices that

can be used in many applications requiring a 0 to 19,999 count digital

display. The application circuits chosen for this section are ones that

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.

All inputs applied to DMS-40PC meters must be steady, dc values,

otherwise the input itself may cause display instabilities. Due to their 4½

digit resolution, DMS-40PC meters must be wired with greater care than

their 3½ digit counterparts. Correct power-supply and input-signal wiring

— an absolute must! — helps eliminate ground-loop induced errors that Figure 2. Single-Ended Input Conﬁ guration

4. DISPLAY HOLD (Pin 9): For normal operation, this pin should be left

open. To hold the meter’s last reading and display it continuously, tie

pin 9 to ground (pin 3, 5V RETURN).

5. Decimal Point Placement: The location of the decimal point is user-

selectable, and the decimal point control pins (DP1-DP4) are active

low functions. Select the appropriate decimal point by tying pin 4,

5, 6 or 8 to pin 3 (5V RETURN). Unused decimal point location pins

should be left open.

APPLICATIONS

When using other, higher-power, DMS-40PC models in combina-

tion with three-terminal regulators, be sure to consult the regulator

manufacturer’s data sheet to ensure the device is being utilized safely

and correctly.

Figure 4. 4.5-18V Power Supply Monitor

4. Floating Signal Source Measurements: A ﬂ oating input is a signal

that, before it is applied to the DMS-40PC’s inputs, has no galvanic

connection (direct current path) to the meter or the meter’s power

supply. The circuit shown in Figure 5 illustrates the necessary con-

nections for measuring ﬂ oating inputs. The 1.5V battery represents a

true ﬂ oating input signal since it initially has no connection whatso-

ever in common with the meter. Real-world ﬂ oating inputs typically

originate from power supplies which are transformer isolated from

the DMS-40PC’s +5V supply.

The connection of pin 12 ((–) INPUT LO) to pin 10 (ANALOG COMMON)

is required in order to provide a bias return for the meter’s input

ampliﬁ er. This is because neither pin 11 nor pin 12 are tied to any

reference voltage inside the DMS-40PC (see Figure 1). These connec-

tions are not made internally in order to give the meter the ability to

make differential measurements as described in a previous section.

Figure 5. Floating Input Measurements

3. Power Supply Monitoring: One of the most widely used digital panel

voltmeter applications is monitoring the output voltage of a system

power supply — often the same supply that also powers the meter.

The low-power, red LED DMS-40PC-2-RL, with its excellent 0.001Vdc

resolution, can be conﬁ gured to monitor power supplies with outputs

in the range of 4.5-18Vdc. The circuit in Figure 4 uses a low-drop-

out, three-terminal regulator (LM-2931T-5, in a T0-220 package,

available from National Semiconductor) to provide regulated 5V

power to the meter.

The LM-2931 was chosen because it has the following on-chip pro-

tection features: reverse polarity, short circuit and thermal runaway.

The DMS-40PC-3-RL can monitor voltages up to ±200Vdc, provided

a separate +5V power source is used since many three-terminal

regulators cannot operate with supply voltages greater than 24V. Red,

low-power LED models, with their very low self-heating, are recom-

mended for applications in which low calibration drift is desirable.

Figure 3. Differential Input Conﬁ guration

2. Differential Input Conﬁ gurations: Differential inputs can also be

measured with DMS-40PC meters as shown in the circuit of Figure

3. Differential inputs must also originate from power supplies that

have a common ground with the meter’s 5V RETURN (pin 3). However,

differential inputs usually have both terminals above and/or below

5V RETURN. Figure 3, though not necessarily a typical real-world

application, does serve the purpose of illustrating the concept of a

differential signal.

The voltages developed across R1, R2 and R3 are equal to each other

and measure approximately +1.6666Vdc or 1/3 of the +5V power

source. More importantly, while the signal across R3 is single-ended,

both ends of R1 and R2 are well above ground and are described

here as being differential. Please note that while the DMS-40PC can

measure the voltages across either R2 or R3, it cannot measure

the +1.6666 volts across R1! The voltage at the lower end of R1 is

approximately 3.333V and this exceeds the common mode voltage

limit of ±2V.

APPLICATIONS

5. Engineering Scaling and Input Attenuation: In many applications,

the input signal must be scaled, or divided down, before being applied

to the DMS-40PC. In some situations, the input signal exceeds the

full-scale range of the meter, and in other applications, a direct

one-to-one relation does not exist between the input voltage and

the desired display reading. For an example of the second situation,

assume an input voltage of 1.0Vdc is required to display a reading of

“7500” when applied to a ±2V input meter. An input divider circuit,

constructed with two series resistors with an output-to-input ratio of

0.75, will scale the 1.0V signal down to 0.75V.

Engineering scaling and input attenuation are discussed in Ap Note

DMS-AN4 at http://www.murata-ps.com/data/meters/dms-an4.pdf.

Compensating for inputs which have a zero offset is also discussed.

6. BCD Outputs (DMS-40PC-X-RS and -RL-BCD Models Only):

Models with a “-BCD” sufﬁ x have 12 extra output pins, labeled

A through L (6 per side), that provide the following information: mul-

tiplexed serial BCD data, digit drive, and polarity indication. The data

present on pins A - L simultaneously drives the meter’s internal LED

display. All functions on pins A - L are 5V CMOS compatible, however,

they are only rated to drive one, 74LS series, TTL load. CMOS logic

IC’s, for example 74HC or 74HCT series devices, should be used when

more fan-out capability is required.

As the timing diagram in Figure 5 indicates, 100Hz is the optimum

display scan rate when the BCD outputs are used to drive external

LED displays. Faster scan rates, while permissible, are not necessary.

Slower scanning, however, may result in noticeable “ﬂ ickering” of

the display. Common anode LED’s, combined with a 74LS247 BCD

to seven-segment decoder, is the simplest way of implementing an

external display. A seventy-ﬁ ve to one-hundred Ohm resistor on each

LS247 segment-drive output provides adequate display brightness.

The functions of pins A - L are listed below:

BCD DATA (pins I - L): Four lines are used for BCD (Binary Coded

Decimal) data outputs, representing the numbers 0 - 9. Positive-logic

convention (a high represents a “1”) is used.

DIGIT DRIVE ( pins A - E): These ﬁ ve outputs, when gated with STROBE,

can be used to direct the BCD DATA into external latches. DIGIT DRIVE

outputs may also be connected directly to the bases of NPN transistors

in remote-display conﬁ gurations. The digits are scanned right-to-left, i.e.,

MSD (DIGIT 1 DRIVE) to LSD (DIGIT 5 DRIVE).

BUSY (pin G): This is a status pin that goes high at the start of an ana-

log-to-digital (A/D) conversion cycle and remains high until the conver-

sion ends.

STROBE (pin H): A string of ﬁ ve sequential, active-low, STROBE pulses

are output (after BUSY goes low) indicating the end of a conversion and

the availability of new data. The 5 STROBE pulses occur only once per

conversion, or 2.5 times each second. STROBE can be used to latch the

BCD data (on pins I - L) into external latches. Either edge can be used

since STROBE (~ 5μsec wide) is active only in the center of the cor-

responding DIGIT DRIVE and BCD DATA outputs.

POLARITY (pin F): This pin, which is also used inside the DMS-40PC to

drive the negative-sign segment, indicates whether the last input signal

conversion was positive (POLARITY set high) or negative (POLARITY set

low). POLARITY, unlike BCD DATA, is not multiplexed. For data latching

purposes, POLARITY should be sampled during the STROBE pulse for

digit 1 (most signiﬁ cant digit).
