1.1.2 CE selection
ES51916 has a CE selection feature archived by configuring an CESEL pin. If pin
CESEL is connected to DGND or floating, ES51916 will have a 610.0V overflow level
in DC and AC 1100.0V ranges. If pin CESEL is connected to V-, ES51916 will have a
1010.0V overflow level in DC and AC 1100.0V ranges. The meter will Show OL when
the measuring signal reaches the overflow level. The configuration of CESEL is listed
below.

1.1.3 HCF signal detection
ES51916 provides detection of high-crest-factor (HCF) signal in ACV mode. When this
function is enabled, ES51916 senses the signal and determines it as HCF if the Vpp is
large enough. Once the signal is determined as HCF, ES51916 will jump up one
measuring range regardless of current measurement value. It takes 60ms to jump one
range up. The jumping up process will continue until the maximum range is reached.
With HCF detection, a more accurate result could be obtained. For example, when a
input signal with Vpp=500V, Vrms=100V(CF=5) was applied, traditional 4000 counts
DMMs might stay at 400V range but shows counts with the amount of error up to 10%
or even bigger. The error rises from limited input/output swing at internal ADC. With
HCF detection, DMM will stay at 4000V and exhibits more accurate results.
In addition to accuracy improvement, HCF will speed up the measuring process for
high voltage signals. For example, a 1000Vrms is applied, ES51916 will take about
180ms (3 HCF jumps) to enter 1100.0 V range. And it takes 1 or 2 measuring processes
to obtain the stable result. Thus a stable LCD reading could be obtained within 1 sec.
In determining whether the input signal is HCF, ES51916 senses the signal at VR1 for
fast response. However if a signal consists of a small ac part and a large enough dc part,
ES51916 might incorrectly treat it as HCF. This could incur range looping phenomenon,
i.e., the measurement could not settle to a specific range.

ES51916 has 2 automatic and 1 manual current measurement modes for multimeter and
5 manual current measurement modes for clampmeter. The following table summarizes
the full-scale range of each mode. When ES51916 operate in the current measurement
modes for multimeter, It takes high input from pin IVSH or IVSL, low input from pin
SGND and reference voltage from pin VR. When ES51916 operate in the current
measurement modes for Clampmeter, It takes high input from pin ADP, low input from
pin SGND and reference voltage from pins VA+ and VA-. The test circuits are shown in
page 27-28.

1.4 Continuity Check
Continuity check shares the same configuration with 110.00Ω manual resistance
measurement mode, but with buzzer output to indicate continuity. The buzzer generates a
2KHz sound whenever the digit number is less than 30Ω. The short circuit detection is
more sensitive and the response time is less than 10ms.
1.5 Diode Measurement
Diode measurement mode shares the same configuration with 1.1000V manual voltage
measurement mode.. The buzzer generates a 2KHz sound whenever the digit number is
less than 30mV. The short circuit detection is more sensitive and the response time is
less than 10ms.
1.6 Frequency counter
The time base of the frequency counter is derived from an external crystal oscillator by
Tcounter =
4,000,000
Fosc
where Fosc is the frequency of the crystal oscillator. Thus, the counter has a 1-second
time base when a 4MHz oscillator is used. The frequency counter can select the proper
range automatically or manually. Auto-range operation extends over six decades, from
1111Hz to 110.00MHz. The following table summarizes the full-scale range of the
frequency counter.

1.7 Temperature measurement mode
Temperature measurement mode takes input signal from ADP pin and reference voltage
from (VA+ - VA-). ES51916 has a built-in ℃-to-℉ scale translation circuit, and only
needs an external ℃ scale application circuit. The application circuit for ℉ scale is
not required. In temperature measurement mode, the default range is 1100.0 ℃ or ℉.
VBAR pin is used to control the second decimal point (DP2) on the LCD panel. When
VBAR is LOW, DP2 is turned on and the first decimal point (DP1) is turned off.
1.8 Auto power off and Idle Time selection
ES51916 has a default auto power off function. If the meter is idle for more than the
given Idle Time, the chip automatically turns the power off. The Idle Time to trigger the
auto power off function is determined by pin ‘APOSEL’. If pin APOSEL is connected
to V-, the Idle Time will be set to 30 minutes. If pin APOSEL is connected to DGND or
floating, the Idle Time will be set to 15 minutes. When APO happens, the state of the
meter is saved. The APO sign on the LCD panel indicates whether the auto power off is
enabled or not. In some cases, user might want to disable Auto power off. There are
two ways to disable this feature as following:
1. Power on the meter when any of the push functions, except for HOLD, is pressed
down.
2. In addition, when RS232 output is active, the auto power off function is also
disabled.
Note: Powering on the meter while pressing HOLD and lasts 2 seconds turns on all
LCD segments until HOLD is pressed again.
1.9 Sleep
The meter enters sleep mode after auto power off. The SLEEP pin asserts low (-3V) in
the sleep mode, and asserts high (+3V, not 0V) after re-power on.
1.10 Re-power on
After auto power-off, pushing any of the push function or changing the rotary mode can
turn on the meter again. If the meter is re-powered on by changing the rotary mode, the
saved state is cleared. If the meter is re-powered on by push functions, the chip restores
the saved state and enters HOLD mode. The LCD displays the saved value.

2.1 HOLD
HOLD mode makes the meter stop updating the LCD panel. This mode can be nested in
most of the special modes. Enabling HOLD function in automatic mode makes the
meter switch to manual mode, but the full-scale range remains the same. HOLD
function can be cancelled by changing the measurement mode, pressing RANGE, or
push HOLD again.

2.4 REL + HOLD
In REL mode, the LCD panel displays DN+K - DN, where DN = 1, 2, 3, … , DN is the last
value before REL is pushed, and DN+K is the current value. If REL is pushed again in
REL mode, the meter displays the reference value. The meter returns to normal
operation if REL is pressed and held for longer than one second. Pressing HOLD in
REL mode makes the meter stop updating the LCD panel.

2.7 Zero : In manual DC 1.1000A, 11.000A, 110.00A, 1100.0A and 11000A
measurement modes, the REL_ZERO pin changes to control Zero function instead of
relative function. In Zero mode, the LCD panel displays DN+K - DN, where DN = 1, 2,
3, … , DN is the last conversion value before Zero is pushed, and DN+K is the current
conversion value. If Zero is pushed again in Zero mode, the meter will refresh the DN
value and displays the DN+K - DN again. The meter returns to normal operation if Zero is
pressed and held for longer than one second. Pressing HOLD in Zero mode makes the
meter stop updating the LCD panel. In Zero mode, LCD will not show any symbol to
remind users of Zero mode is active.

2.8 Peak + HOLD
Peak mode takes input from Pmax or Pmin pin. The peak values are stored in external
capacitors. Polyster mylar capacitors are recommended. The precision of Peak mode
measurement can be enhanced by calibration. Calibration for Peak mode is invoked by
pressing Peak bottom for more than 2 seconds. Entering Peak mode will automatically
execute peak calibration, if peak calibration was never done before. The Calibration
process measures and stores the offset voltage of internal operation amplifiers. High
precision is achieved by substracting this offset from reading. When power off the
ES51916 or switch the measurement mode to temperature mode, the calibrated offset
value will be cleared. ES51916 will automatically execute peak calibration, if peak
mode was activated again after the calibrated offset value was cleared.

Serial Data Output
The RS232 function will be activated if the RS232 pin is pulled to and asserts at V-.
The serial data sent to SDO pin once every A/D conversion cycle. The data format
complies with JIS 7Bits transmission code with a baud rate of 19230. The host can use
RS232 interface to read the data. A single data packet includes a start bit (always 0), 7
data bits, an odd parity check bit, and a stop bit (always 1). The high and low voltage
levels correspond to DGND and V- respectively. SDO remains at 1 (high) when it is

4.3 Operating Timing
ES51916 incorporates a dual slope ADC with four phases: ZI, AZ, INT and DINT.
The timing of each phase are listed below.
*Voltage /Current /ohm /ADP measurement:

P.S. In the DC voltage and ohm measurement with auto mode, if the range is
changed, the internal clock rate will increase five times and the new measurement
cycle becomes 1/5 times of the original cycle until the range is stable.
*Continuity/diode measurement

*Frequency measurement
In range FR1, the measurement cycle = 0.5 sec
In range FR2~FR6, the measurement cycle = 1.05 sec
P.S. In the frequency measurement with auto mode, if the range is changed, the
internal clock rate will increase ten times and the new measurement cycle
becomes 1/10 times of the original cycle until the range is stable.

Notes:
1. Most of pins are protected by the ESD protection circuits. However pins, V+, V-, AGND, DGND and
VR1 are not protected enough because the parasitic effect must be decrease. Therefore enough external
protection is needed for assembling, carrying and keeping. In addition, components connecting to these
unprotected pins have to be soldered on board before the IC is soldered.
2. Light shielding for the diodes and Zeners.
3. Zener diodes in above circuit are used for IC protection, so MUST be soldered on PCB first.
