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, three-
terminal 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
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), V
To calibrate the circuit of Figure 7, perform the following:

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 0.1 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.

operation. Use the +1.23V REFERENCE OUT (pin 9) for
applications needing external gain adjustment. Figure 10 shows
the wiring configuration for each model. Calibration is performed
with a precise, near-full-scale, input voltage.
