These were apparently common ICs with multiple sources for 3-1/2 digit panel
meters maybe 25 years ago. Google doesn't seem to turn up any useful info,
just a few places to buy them. I'm looking for datasheets or any other info,
or even a schematic of a sample meter that uses them.
I have an autoranging DPM that works fine except that it goes nuts
with readings between 6.00 and 7.99 V as well as 16.00 and 17.99 V, but only
if the last digit is a "9", at which point it wants to change to the
lower range. Then, it does that, realizes its mistake, and ends up
in an infinite loop of sorts. Seems like a couple bits are stuck
somewhere but I would like to know if this is inside one of these
ICs or external.
The autoranging is also a bit strage, though it may be normal: Going up,
it changes ranges when the highest displayable reading is exceeded.
For example, 1.999 rolls over to 2.00. But, going down, it waits until
the reading drops below 1.00 (for this example) rather than 1.999.
Not anything on which the future of the Universe depends, just curious.
Thanks.
