4.17 Low Battery

The low battery annunciator turns on when supply volt-

age between V- and V+ drops below 6.8V. The internal

zener has a threshold of 6.3V. When the supply voltage

drops below 6.8V, the transistor tied to V- turns OFF,

pulling the "Low Battery" point HIGH.

4.18 Sequence and Results Counter

A sequence counter and associated control logic pro-

vide signals that operate the analog switches in the

integrator section. The comparator output from the inte-

grator gates the results counter. The results counter is

a six-section up/down decade counter, which holds the

intermediate results from each successive integration.

4.19 Over Range and Under Range

Outputs

When the results counter holds a value greater than

±19,999, the DP4/OR output (Pin 20) is driven HIGH.

When the results counter value is less than ±1000, the

DP3/UR output (Pin 21) is driven HIGH. Both signals

are valid on the falling edge of LATCH/HOLD (L/H) and

do not change until the end of the next conversion

cycle. The signals are updated at the end of each con-

version, unless the L/H input (Pin 22) is held HIGH.

Pins 20 and 21 can also be used as inputs for external

control of decimal points 3 and 4. Figure 4-14 shows a

schematic of the input/output nature of these pins.

4.20 LATCH/Hold

The L/H output goes LOW during the last 100 cycles of

each conversion. This pulse latches the conversion

data into the display driver section of the TC7129. This

pin can also be used as an input. When driven HIGH,

the display will not be updated; the previous reading is

displayed. When driven LOW, the display reading is not

latched; the sequence counter reading will be dis-

played. Since the counter is counting much faster than

the backplanes are being updated, the reading shown

in this mode is somewhat erratic.

4.21 Display Driver

The TC7129 drives a triplexed LCD with three back-

planes. The LCD can include decimal points, polarity

sign, and annunciators for continuity and low battery.

Figure 4-16 shows the assignment of the display seg-

ments to the backplanes and segment drive lines. The

backplane drive frequency is obtained by dividing the

oscillator frequency by 1200. This results in a back-

plane drive frequency of 100Hz for 60Hz operation

(120kHz crystal) and 83.3Hz for 50Hz operation

(100kHz crystal).

Backplane waveforms are shown in Figure 4-17.

These appear on outputs BP1, BP2, BP3 (Pins 16, 17,

and 18). They remain the same, regardless of the seg-

ments being driven.

Other display output lines (Pins 4 through 15) have

waveforms that vary depending on the displayed val-

ues. Figure 4-18 shows a set of waveforms for the A, G,

D outputs (Pins 5, 8, 11, and 14) for several combina-

tions of "ON" segments.

The ANNUNCIATOR DRIVE output (Pin 3) is a square

wave, running at the backplane frequency (100Hz or

83.3Hz) with a peak-to-peak voltage equal to DGND

voltage. Connecting an annunciator to Pin 3 turns it

ON; connecting it to its backplane turns it OFF.
