Thanks for the suggestions, Why I want this design is that I want to power it off my UPS which is a solar panel floating a lead acid accumulator of 20AH capacity. The whole show will run for years at a time. I also want to be able to switch decades and keep full scale values as multiples of

First off, I'd not mess with building DACs. DAC ICs are cheap and come in wide varieties. I'd change to a binary counter and use a 10 to 16 bit commercial DAC. If you are determined to go the decade BCD route, use the summing junction of an op-amp in an inverting configuration. If the decades are

Hi, I am constructing a phase meter to monitor the phase creep of clocks. It consists of a BCD counter counting say microseconds that has its count strobed into a latch by a pulse from the clock. The Latch drives a DAC which drives a pen recorder and an analogue data logger. Now I am familiar wi
