描述
Benefits and overview
- Safe high voltage measurement with a simple resistor divider that scales down input voltages to the ADC range
- High resolution measurement thanks to an AVR microcontroller with a 10-bit ADC
- Wide compatibility with 5 V and 3.3 V systems while preserving accuracy
- Useful for testing both voltage and current in various circuits and projects
What this module does
- Analog input range: the module accepts input voltages up to 5 V at the ADC, while the red terminal inputs can be up to 25 V when used with a 5 V system, or up to 16.5 V when used with a 3.3 V system
- ADC resolution: the AVR chip provides 10-bit ADC conversion, delivering a resolution of 0.00489 V per step (5 V divided by 1023)
- Minimum measurable step: the smallest detectable voltage is 0.02445 V (0.00489 V times 5)
- Voltage division: the input on the red terminals is reduced by a factor of five via a resistor divider, allowing higher voltages to be measured safely by the ADC
- Applications: suitable for testing both voltages and related electrical parameters in your projects
Key specifications and behavior

- ADC: 10-bit resolution (1023 steps)
- Voltage step size: 0.00489 V per LSB
- Minimum detectable step at the measured input: 0.02445 V
- Voltage divider factor: scales input by a factor of 5
2-3 practical use scenarios
- Battery and power rail monitoring
- Use in projects powered by 5 V or 3.3 V to monitor battery packs or supply rails that can reach up to 25 V (or 16.5 V on 3.3 V systems) while keeping the ADC within its safe range
- Embedded sensor interfacing
- Measure signals from external sensors or probes whose voltages may exceed the MCU’s direct input range, by safely scaling them down to a 0–5 V window
- Development and testing of voltage and current in prototyping
- Useful in lab or development settings to verify voltage levels and track changes during circuit testing without risking the MCU
Usage notes
- The module relies on a resistor divider to scale input voltages by a factor of five, making higher voltages measurable by the AVR 10-bit ADC
- Ensure the measured voltage stays within the specified limits for your system (25 V max for 5 V systems, 16.5 V max for 3.3 V systems)
- The stated resolution and minimum step refer to the ADC conversion on the AVR microcontroller and the designed divider network
