ROHM Semiconductor BA6137
The BA6137 is a driver IC for LED VU level meters in stereo equipment and other display applications. The IC displays the input level (range: *10dB to +6dB) on a 5-point, bar-type LED display. The BA6137 includes a rectifier amplifier allowing direct AC input, and has constant-current outputs, so it can directly drive the LEDs without variations in LED current due to power supply voltage fluctuations.| Part No. | BA6137 |

Audio ICs LED level meter driver, 5-point, VU scale BA6137 FApplications VU meters, signal meters, and other display devices. FFeatures 1) Rectifier amplifier allows either AC or DC input. 2) Constant-current outputs for constant LED current when the power supply voltage fluctuates. 3) Current output is optimized for red LEDs, for low power dissipation. 4) Built-in reference voltage means that power supply voltage fluctuations do not effect the display. 5) Wide operating power supply voltage range (3.5V to 16V) for a wide range of applications. 6) Low PCB space requirements. Comes in a compact 9-pin SIP package and requires few attached components.
