This circuit is a digital voltmeter with LED display. It's ideal to use for measuring the output voltage of your DC power supply. It includes a 3.5-digit LED display with a negative voltage indicator. It measures DC voltages from 0 to 199.9V with a resolution of 0.1V. The voltmeter is based on single ICL7107 chip and may be fitted on a small 3cm x 7cm printed circuit board. The circuit should be supplied with a 5V voltage supply and consumes only around 25mA.
The use of 7805 5V voltage regulator is highly recommended to prevent the damage of ICL7107, 555 ICs and to extend the operating voltages.
