The circuit described is a voltage measurement system designed for applications such as dietary monitoring, where precise voltage readings are essential. The system can measure a voltage range from -99 mV to 999 mV, making it suitable for various low-voltage applications.
The main components of the circuit include two integrated circuits (ICs), the CA 3161 and CA 3162. The CA 3162 (IC1) functions as an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), converting the input analog voltage signal into a digital representation. This digital signal is multiplexed, allowing control over multiple display outputs (T1 to T3). The resulting Binary-Coded Decimal (BCD) output from IC1 is fed into the CA 3161 (IC2), which serves as a BCD to 7-segment display driver. This configuration allows the digital representation of the measured voltage to be displayed on common anode 7-segment LED displays (LD1 to LD3).
Pin 6 of IC1 is a versatile control pin that influences the sampling frequency of the circuit. When this pin is grounded or left open, the circuit operates at a sampling frequency of 4 Hz. If a voltage of 1.2 V is applied to pin 6, the HOLD function is activated, freezing the displayed value. At a voltage of 5 V on pin 6, the sampling frequency increases to 96 Hz, allowing for more rapid measurements.
Calibration of the meter is achieved through two potentiometers, P1 and P2. P1, a 10 kΩ trimming potentiometer, is used to set the display to indicate "000" when no voltage is applied. A known reference voltage between 0 to 1 V is then applied to the HI input while LO is grounded. Next, P2, a 5 kΩ trimming potentiometer, is adjusted to ensure that the display accurately reflects the input voltage in millivolts.
To extend the measurement range, voltage dividers can be utilized. The circuit also includes resistors R1 to R3, each valued at 220 Ω, which are likely used for current limiting or biasing purposes. The capacitor C1, rated at 270 nF, is likely employed for filtering or stability in the circuit. The transistors T1 to T3 (636 BC) are used for switching the multiplexed signals to the display segments.
Overall, this circuit design provides a robust solution for precise voltage measurement, suitable for various applications that require accurate monitoring of low voltage levels.This circuit can for example be incorporated into a diet to pressure warning.
