The LM3916 is a monolithic integrated circuit that senses analog voltage levels and drives ten LEDs, LCDs or vacuum fluorescent displays, providing an electronic version of the popular VU meter. One pin changes the display from a bar graph to a moving dot display. LED current drive is regulat ed and programmable, eliminating the need for current limit ing resistors. The whole display system can operate from a single supply as low as 3V or as high as 25V.
