   Digital Voltmeteris an instrument which use to measured the voltage & display the measured voltage using LCDs or LEDs to display the result in a floating point format. They are an instrument of choice for voltage measurements in all kinds of situations.  Digital voltmeters usually have scales that are 0-0.3v, 0-3v, 0-30v, 0-300v.

   INTEGRATOR:-The integratorstabilizes the voltage as a first step in measuring it. It takes a brief time sample, integrates it and outputs a proportional voltage. Integrating a time sample makes the voltmeter more immune to noise in the signal.  ANALOG/DIGITAL CONVERTOR:-The analog/digital converter or ADC, is the heart of the voltmeter. It is a clocked circuit that takes an input voltage sample and outputs a number representing the voltage value. Since it's clocked, you get a steady stream of numbers that change when the input voltage changes.  ZEROING&SAMPLING:-A digital voltmeter needs to know where zero is in order to give a true reading. This is done with a precision zero reference voltage provided either internal to the ADC chip or externally. For a general-purpose voltmeter, scaling is important. Scale can be switched automatically by detecting overflow in the display.  DISPLAY:-Usually, four or more digits of accuracy, a minus sign, and a floating decimal point are provided. Other indicators for battery status and range may also be included. A well-designed integrator and ADC will keep the display from jittering between values; otherwise usability suffers. For example, if the voltage is 5.21 volts, without some stabilizing, the display might waver between 5.21 and 5.22. The digit display needs driver circuitry to handle the drive current. The same ADC chip frequently also has the display drivers also. Connecting the chip directly to the display simplifies the design and adds reliability.
