The LM3914 LED bar graph driver was an amazing chip back in the day. Along with the LM3915, its logarithmic cousin, these chips gave a modern look to projects, allowing dancing LEDs to stand in for a ...

Isn’t it always the way? There’s a circuit right out of the textbooks, or even a chip designed to do exactly what you want — almost exactly. It’s 80% perfect for your application, and rather than ...

This circuit uses two National Semiconductor LM3914 dot/bar-display-driver ICs to implement a two-digit, 0 to 5V LED voltmeter that mimics a subranging flash ADC. An LED bar graph comprising five LEDs ...

This application required more flexibility than the LM3914 offers, and it uses a circuit based on an Atmel AVR-family ATTiny13 microcontroller, which features 1 kbyte of program memory; a four-channel ...
