LM3914 Datasheet Dot/bar Display Driver

Manufacturer: National Semiconductor (now Texas Instruments)

Overview: LM3914 Dot/Bar Display Driver January 2000 LM3914 Dot/Bar Display.

General Description

The LM3914 is a monolithic integrated circuit that senses analog voltage levels and drives 10 LEDs, providing a linear analog display.

A single pin changes the display from a moving dot to a bar graph.

Current drive to the LEDs is regulated and programmable, eliminating the need for resistors.
