DESCRIPTION
As a completely self-contained tachometer/display module, the SUB-CUB-R
can be treated as a component just like any other I.C. The module contains a
custom monolithic counter/driver chip, a custom time base chip, and a 6-digit
Liquid Crystal Display. The time base of the SUB-CUB-R is determined by the
logic level of the T ime Base Inputs and is selectable from approx 0.0039 second
up to approximately 15.9 seconds in .0039 second increments. The SUB-CUB-
R also allows for the selection of a decimal point position. The Master Reset
input allows the user to synchronize the SUB-CUB-R time base with external
operations.
This module is ideal for internal “on board” applications where a readout of
rate or frequency is needed within a circuit enclosure for maintenance,
diagnostic, tune-up, or other data readout requirements. The SUB-CUB-R can
also be mounted with a convenient bezel kit to provide a very flexible and
economical panel instrument.
The SUB-CUB-R snap-mounts directly on to any 1/16” P.C. Board that has
been etched to provide a mating interconnect pattern with two mounting holes
and a polarizing “key” hole. Interconnections to the P.C. Board as well as
internal connections are made with elastomeric connectors that provide
corrosion-proof, gas-tight interface contacts for high reliability.

MOUNTING & DIMENSIONS
Snap in mounting on the P.C. Board is facilitated by two, split, lock-ramp
pins which engage mounting holes drilled in the P.C. Board. The silicone
rubber elastomeric connectors compress to accommodate P.C. Board thickness
variation of ±0.005”.
DIMENSIONS
In Inches (mm)
P.C. BOARD LAYOUT
P.C. Board pads may be gold or tin-lead plated. Pad
surface must be flat without excessive tin-lead build-up.
(Layout view is from SUB-CUB-R mounting side of board.)
Pad area must be clean and free of contaminants so that
proper electrical contact can be made.
Note: All hole size tolerances ±0.003” (0.08 mm)
All other tolerances ±0.005” (0.13 mm)

TIME BASE SELECTION
The SUB-CUB-R has a time base selection range of approx. 3.9 msec to 15.9
seconds in 3.906 msec (1/256 second) increments. The minimum time base
setting is obtained by pulling only the TB1 input low while the maximum time
base is obtained by pulling all TB inputs low. Therefore, a specific time base
is achieved by adding the appropriate individual time base increments. The
time base increment total is computed according to the following formula:
=
WHERE:
DR = Desired Reading
DDP = Display Decimal Point
RPM = Revolutions Per Minute
PPR = Pulses Per Revolution
DDP:

As shown above, Time base inputs TB10, TB7, TB6, TB3, TB2 are pulled
low to generate the desired time base. The actual time base in seconds is
calculated by dividing the TBIT Total by 256.
614/256 = 2.398 sec.
FREQUENCY DOUBLING
FD is the Frequency Doubling input. When it is in the high state or left open,
twice the number of input pulses are registered on the readout. This doubling
of the signal input rate allows the Time Base Increment Total (TBIT) to be
halved, thus allowing for a faster update time for a given display value. If this
input is in the low state, Frequency Doubling is disabled.

DECIMAL POINT SELECTION
The selection of the Decimal Point is accomplished by the DPA and DPB
inputs. The table below shows the logic states which should be used to obtain
the desired decimal point location. The SUB-CUB-R has leading zero
blanking. Note that a change in decimal point position will only occur at the
end of the present time base period.
PULSED PULL-UP LATCHED INPUTS
The Time base inputs, the Decimal Point inputs, and the Frequency
Doubling inputs are designed to be actuated by wired or switched
connection to Common or by switching an open collector of a transistor to
Common. A pull-up resistance is provided for all of these inputs. To keep
current consumption to a minimum, this input circuit has been designed to
latch the present state of the inputs, allowing the pull-up resistance to be
switched on and off, thus reducing current consumption. The following is
a description of the sequence of events for these inputs (Refer to the
drawing below):
At the end of a previous time base, a 30.5 µsec pulse is generated within
the time base chip which will cause Q1 to switch ON the input’s pull-up
resistance. During this time, if the input is being held low, the input will
provide a sourcing current pulse thru Q1. The level of the input (either low
or high) is sensed by the input’s Latching Circuit. When the pulse is
terminated, the Latching Circuit will hold the input at its present state.
If an input, which is presently in the high state, is pulled low, the
Latching Circuit will respond immediately and latch the input in the low
state. If an input is presently held in the low state, and is allowed to float,
the Latching Circuit cannot respond until the end of the time base; at which
time, the Pulsed Pull-up resistance will pull the input high. The Latching
Circuit will then latch the high state. A Master Reset (MR) will terminate
the present time base and allow new TB inputs to be latched.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
FLOW RATE
The SUB-CUB-R, along with some signal conditioning circuitry, can
be used as a flow indicator to measure the flow of liquid. A flow gage
with a magnetic type output is used to sense the rotation of the impellor,
and its output is fed through an amplifier circuit to the SIG input. Since
the output of the flow gage is an A.C. voltage, diodes D1 and D2 are
used to clamp the output signal swing to within ±0.7 volts of the supply
voltage. Diode D3 is used to prevent the voltage from rising above 6.0
VDC to prevent damaging the SUB-CUB-R. The time base of the SUB-
CUB-R is set to 0.5 sec (TB8 is connected to VSS ). Frequency doubling
is enabled (FD is connected to VDD ). This will allow the meter to
produce the appearance of a 1 second time base which updates twice a
second. The time base of the SUB-CUB-R can be varied to produce
different time bases required for different fluids. A second position
decimal point is selected (DPA and DPB are connected to VDD ).
DISPLAY FOR SPEED OF SMALL PRINTING PRESS
The SUB-CUB-R can be used to indicate the speed of the web of a small
printing press in both tenths of feet per minute and in tenths of meters per
minute. When the press is running at its maximum rate, the web is turning at
a rate of 1800 RPM, and the press is running at 250 feet per minute (76.2
meters per minute). The drive control produces a signal of 60 pulses per
revolution of web. To align the registration marks in the set-up mode, the
press speed is only 25 feet per minute.
The controller for the press provides a logic pulse which corresponds to its
speed. This logic pulse is fed through a buffer to the Signal input of the SUB-
CUB-R. The time base is determined by the position of the Selector switch.
In the first position, the SUB-CUB-R display will read out in tenths of feet per
minute. In the second position, the display will be in tenths of meters. Note
that Frequency Doubling is used to reduce the update time of the SUB-CUB-
R. The first decimal point is turned on by the logic levels of DPA and DPB.
To determine the proper TB input settings for both feet per minute and for
meters per minute, use the following formula.
