MULTIMETER VOLTCRAFT VC650
« on: March 19, 2017, 05:34:20 pm »
Hello; I am currently restoring a multimetre voltcraft vc650, I have the schema, but I can not figure out which VDD and VSS should be, because they are not detailed (is it: -5V / + 5V ??). Can you help me? (I join the complete Shema with) Thank you for your answers

From a data sheet for the KS57C2616 CPU:

VDD = 2.7V to 6.0V
VSS = Ground

The charge pump for VSS is at the top left on page 2 (negative voltage), and at bottom right on the same page is the voltage regulator for VCC (U16, presumably 5V).

See picture attached
VDD = +5V
VCC = ~ +3V
GND = 0V
VSS = ~ -5V

Hello; Thank you for this information. I did the measurements. VDD is at 5v, but vss is only -3.3v. I have checked the diodes D9, D10, they are good. I checked c11, c12 (replaced), and the voltage is still -3.3v. What do you think?? Can the circuit 74hc04 (u15) be involved ???

-3.3V seems to be fine for Vss. The output voltage of such a charge pump can't go up to -Vcc. And the voltage drop by Q9 is maybe 0.2 or 0.3V, so Vcc is about 4.7V (in case Q9 is in saturation mode).

Hello, the voltage of -3.3v is not correct, it must be around -5v, it is missing -1.7v. Only the ohmmetre and diode tester parts are faulty. It is either too high or too low on a caliber of the ohmmetre. The entire circuit around the operational amplifier has been checked and checked, and there is nothing abnormal about it. An idea?? :palm:

Use another meter to measure the voltage of the voltcraft at the probes, red to red, black to black.

1.0 put voltcraft to  diode mode - how many volt measured?

2.0 put voltcraft  to ohm mode - how many volt measured?

I think -3.3v should be fine due to loading of the circuit.

What exactly is the meaning of this "Only the ohmmetre and diode tester parts are faulty. It is either too high or too low on a caliber of the ohmmetre."??

Put a known ohm X ohm say 100 ohms or something, what is the reading?

Put a know diode X say 1N4148 or something what is the reading?
