LM3915 – Dot/Bar Display Driver IC with Logarithmic Scale
35.00 EGP
The LM3915 is an integrated circuit designed to drive LED dot/bar displays with a logarithmic response. This makes it ideal for audio level meters, where the display corresponds to the logarithmic nature of human hearing. It lights up 10 LEDs based on an analog voltage input, representing signal strength or other variable parameters.
