Abstract

In voltage measurement by using voltage divider with series resistors, error is generated caused by the variation of resistance. In order to reduce these errors, the hardware cost tends to increase in the previous works. In the proposed method, three resistors are used for the voltage divider of which the organization is adjusted by using switches. Three voltages are measured and the ratio of resistance is calculated based on the measured voltages. Since the resistance ratio is calculated by measuring voltages and additional hardware cost is minimal, the voltage can be measured with high accuracy and low cost. Experimental results show that the mean absolute error is 12.1 mV when the input voltage ranges from 5 V to 50 V.
