DMS-20LCD Series, 3½ Digit, LCD Display, Digital 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 800k. 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.

TECHNICAL NOTES
1. 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 specifica-
tions.
2. ANALOG COMMON (Pin 10):
This pin is connected to an internal,
low-noise, “relative” ground. It is used in certain differential and “float-
ing” measurements as described in the Applications section of this data
sheet and Ap Note DMS-AN3 at
http://www.murata-ps.com/data/meters/dms-an3.pdf.
Pin 10 should
not be connected to pin 3 (5V RETURN/–BATTERY) or to your
system’s analog ground.
3. 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 appropriate decimal point by tying the appropriate

pin (pin 4, 5 or 6) to pin 3 (5V RETURN/–BATTERY). Unused decimal
point location pins should be left open. For 5V-powered models, the
decimal location pins are TTL compatible and may be hard wired as
described above or driven with 5V TTL logic gates.
4. BACKLIGHT (Pin 9) Function:
Grounding pin 9 (i.e. connecting 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 back-
light (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:

APPLICATIONS
DMS-20LCD meters are available in either 5V-powered or 9V-powered
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.
1. Single-Ended Input Configurations:
True single-ended measure-
ments 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).

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 +3.7V, or when the supply voltage for
9V-powered models falls below approximately 7.2V. However, the low-
battery annunciator’s turn-on threshold can vary significantly from unit-
to-unit: as low as 2.7V for 5V-powered meters, and as low as 5.4V for
9V-powered models. Applications that use the LOW BAT annunciator
must be fully tested by the user, using a combination of low supply volt-
ages and the input signal’s minimum and maximum levels, to ensure
that all display readings are valid as long as the LOW BAT annunciator
remains off.
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 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.

2. Differential Input Configurations:
Differential measurements 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 demon-
strate the concept of a differential input signal. Be careful not to exceed
the ±2V common mode voltage limitation for 5V powered meters.
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.

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.

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:
DMS-20LCD Series
3½ Digit, LCD Display Digital Panel Voltmeters
APPLICATIONS
R
Shunt
= R1 = V
Fsr
/ I
Fsr
Where:
V
Fsr
= Full scale reading (in Volts)
I
Fsr
= Relative full scale current (in Amps)
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
Fsr
= 1.000 Volts
R
Shunt
= 1.000V/(0.020 – 0.004)A
R
Shunt
= 1.000V/0.016A = 62.5 Ohms
REF OUT

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 volt-
age with another meter and then adjusting the gain-adjust potentiom-
eter 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.

To calibrate the circuit of Figure 7, perform the following:
1. With 4mA applied, adjust the 50k 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

accordingly.

6. Power Supply Monitoring:
A popular application for Murata Power
Solutions’ low-power LCD meters is monitoring the supply voltage in
battery-operated portable equipment. Figure 8 demonstrates how a
9V-powered 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 require-
ment 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 (+BAT-
TERY) and 3 (–BATTERY). The divider should be designed so that
1/10th the battery voltage falls across the inputs to the meter:
