LM3915 Datasheet Dot/bar Display Driver

Manufacturer: National Semiconductor (now Texas Instruments)

Overview: LM3915 Dot/Bar Display Driver January 2000 LM3915 Dot/Bar Display.

This datasheet includes multiple variants, all published together in a single manufacturer document.

General Description

The LM3915 is a monolithic integrated circuit that senses analog voltage levels and drives ten LEDs, LCDs or vacuum fluorescent displays, providing a logarithmic 3 dB/step analog display.

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

LED current drive is regulated and programmable, eliminating the need for current limiting resistors.
