3½ Digit, LCD Display Digital Panel Voltmeters
FEATURES
Offering all the outstanding features and benefits of Murata Power Solutions’ industry
leading DMS-20LCD Series of 3½ Digit LCD Panel Meters, DMS-30LCD meters offer larger,
more easily readable displays at slightly higher power consumptions. Like all DMS Series
LCD meters, these miniature (2.17” x 0.92” x 0.43”), epoxy-encapsulated devices offer
component-like ease-of-use, outstanding reliability and easy installation in either panels or
pc-cards.
Large (0.4"/10.2mm), enhanced-contrast, LCD display
Single +5V supply or 9V battery
Power as low as 3.2mW
Miniature size:
2.17" x 0.92" x 0.43" (55mm x 23mm x 11mm)
DMS-30LCD devices operate from a single +5V supply or a 9V battery. Battery-operated units typically draw 350μA and consume a mere 3.2mW. Backlit models are available
for low-light applications; though we have found many designers prefer Murata Power
Solutions’ unique low-power LED meters in those circumstances.
Epoxy-encapsulated, 12-pin DIP
Backlit displays optional
4 differential input voltage ranges
Offering 4 optional input voltage ranges (±200mV, ±2V, ±20V or ±200V), DMS-30LCD
meters have an extremely user-friendly input structure. They can be used in differential
or single-ended modes. Input impedance is a minimum 800kΩ. CMRR is typically 86dB.
CMV is ±2V, and inputs are overvoltage protected to ±100V.
High accuracy, ±1 count (±0.05%)
Autopolarity changeover and overrange indication
User-selectable decimal point placement
Each meter incorporates an extremely stable, double regulated reference and is fully
calibrated at our factory prior to encapsulation. We guarantee outstanding initial accuracy
(±1 count) and excellent stability over temperature (±0.15 counts/°C). These extremely
rugged meters are moisture and vibration proof and never require adjustment or recalibration.
Numerous "plug-on" application boards
0 to +60°C temperature range
For popular applications (4-to-20mA, rms-to-dc conversion, ac line power, J and K
thermocouples, etc.), the DMS-30LCD Series includes a complete line of "plug-on" application boards that conveniently convert your meter into an application-specific instrument.

1. +1.23V REFERENCE OUTPUT (Pin 9): This pin is the output of the
meter’s precision +1.23V internal reference, and it is referenced to
ANALOG COMMON (pin 10) which sits at a potential of approximately
+2V. This output should be buffered if used to drive external loads
since sourcing more than 15µA from pin 9 can affect both the initial
accuracy and temperature drift of the meter.
2. ANALOG COMMON (Pin 10): This pin is connected to an internal,
low-noise, “relative” ground. It is used in certain differential and “floating” 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.
www.murata-ps.com/support
MPM_DMS30LCD.E01 Page 2 of 6
DMS-30LCD Series
3½ Digit, LCD Display Digital Panel Voltmeters
3. Decimal Point Placement: The location of the decimal point is userselectable, 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. 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 specifications.
5. DISPLAY TEST (Pin 2): (Not available on backlit models)
Connect DISPLAY TEST (pin 2) to +5V SUPPLY/+BATTERY
(pin 1) to activate. All LCD segments, exclusive of the decimal points,
will be momentarily enabled. Do not leave the unit in the TEST
mode for more than 10 seconds as this will damage the LCD segments.
6. BACKLIGHT (Pin 2) Function: For backlit models, grounding pin 2
(i.e. connecting it to pin 3) turns on the backlighting LED’s. 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 2 in these situations. The value of the series resistor is determined using the following formula:
RSeries =
+BATTERY – 9.2V
Ohms
0.035
Example: If +BATTERY (pin 1 with respect to pin 3) is +12.6V,
RSeries =
+12.6 – 9.2V
Ohms
0.035
RSeries = 97 Ohms
In any backlit application, including those with supply voltages
< 9.2V, the current drawn by the backlight (and therefore the current
drawn by the meter) can be reduced by installing a 1/4 Watt resistor
between pins 3 and 2. The brightness of the backlight will be reduced
proportionately.
7. Gain Adjust: There is a gain-adjust potentiometer on the back of each
meter. It has approximately ±50 counts (±2.5%) of adjustment range.
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.
Refer to Figure 9 for applications requiring greater ( ±10%) gain adjustments.
8. Soldering Methods: All models in the DMS-30LCD Series easily
withstand most common wave soldering operations. We recommend,
however, 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 lead-free solders.

APPLICATIONS
DMS-30LCD 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 measurements 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).

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 demonstrate the concept of a differential input signal. Be careful not to exceed
the ±2V common mode voltage limitation for 5V-powered meters.

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-30LCD 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:

APPLICATIONS
R2
= 0.1
(R1 + R2 + R3)
RShunt = R1 = VFsr / I Fsr
Where:
VFsr = Full scale reading (in Volts)
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.
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), VFsr = 1.000 Volts
The circuit can be calibrated by first measuring the actual battery voltage with another meter and then adjusting the gain-adjust potentiometer on the back of the DMS-30LCD 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.
RShunt = 1.000V/(0.020 – 0.004)A
RShunt = 1.000V/0.016A = 62.5 Ohms
To calibrate the circuit of Figure 7, perform the following:
DMS-30LCD-1-9
1. With 4mA applied, adjust the 50kΩ potentiometer (R2) to
display a reading of "000" (assuming that is the desired
reading).

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-30LCD can be used to monitor its own supply. The
meter used is the DMS-30LCD-1-9. A three-resistor voltage divider is
used to attenuate the battery voltage and also to satisfy the requirement 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 (+BATTERY) and 3 (–BATTERY). The divider should be designed so that
1/10th the battery voltage falls across the inputs to the meter:
