  • Page 16: Microcomputer Ic (U2)

    Theory of Operation Microcomputer IC (U2) Finally, digital circuitry interfaces with U2 via a parallel address and bidirectional data bus. Voltage is measured using a ratio comparison of the unknown voltage to the reference voltage (REFI pin). Resistance is calculated using a ratio comparison of the voltage across the unknown resistor to the voltage across a precision reference resistor, with the same current in both.
