ALD500R/ALD523D A/D Converter – Display Module Controller chipset. It features direct 2 x 16 Character
Display Module interface, calibrated analog input (w/scalable input ranges), and digital circuitry to communicate
with PC or other microprocessors. It is designed to be used as a stand-alone, embedded system component in a
variety of applications including digital panel meters, customized instrumentation displays, temperature monitoring,
high resolution DVM’s, weigh scales and others. Direct Full-scale analog input range is +/- 2.00000 V DC with a
linearity of 0.005%. ALD's 18-bit plus sign integrating dual-slope analog processor (ALD500) functions as the input
device and the ALD523D microprocessor IC implements the digital conversion, control mode and I/O functions for
interfacing with a variety of LCD/VFD multi-line Character Display Modules. In addition, the MB203 also drives
and manages a 2 x 16 LCD or VFD Character Display Module.
MB203 supports
configuration, are:
application specific adaptations of the MB203A.
The MB203 board has provision for PC interface, including DOS setup, operating and calibration
software, Basic programming interface modules, and input resistor divider network for input scaling. DC
Inputs are single ended or optionally fully differential, and features automatic zero and automatic input
polarity detection. There are also optional socket/footprints for input pre-amplifier and 2-input differential
input analog switch. A DB25 connector is provided on-board to conveniently interconnect the MB203 to
a personal computer (PC) via the parallel printer port for initial setup and calibration. Standard PC
software is included to configure the ALD523D digital controller chip and establish input scaling and
user-defined alphanumeric "Title and Unit fields" for the display module, which are then uploaded and
stored in the EEPROM on the MB203. Once initial set up and calibration is completed, the MB203 board
only requires a single +5V DC power supply to operate.

The ALD MB203 is a precision +/- 5 ½-digit Digital Voltmeter (DVM) printed circuit board that contains the
Mode A version- calibrated reference mode.
Mode B version – ratio-metric mode.
Mode C version- display only mode.
Standard Mode A version is available as MB203A. Mode B and Mode C versions are simple
three optional Mode versions, each populated with different components and
Mode C is used for display applications and can be programmed to be compatible
with most industry standard serial binary input data formats — up to 31 serial bits
plus sign bit.
Mode A is used primarily for measurements against a calibrated reference voltage
typically required in precision voltmeter applications.
Mode B is intended for measurements against a ratio-metric reference voltage such
as those required in weigh scale applications.
