Lm3916 Vu Meter. Who doesn t like blinking lights. The led vu meter was the height of late 80s boombox technology.
The lm3915 vu meter circuit is designed with few components. The lm3916 is a monolithic integrated circuit that 2 fast responding electronic vu meter senses analog voltage levels and drives ten leds drivers leds lcds or vacuum fluorescents lcds or vacuum fluorescent displays providing an bar or dot display mode externally selectable electronic version of the popular vu meter. Unlike lm3915 which have 3db step between voltage levels the lm3916 have nonlinear steps.
This instructable will build one out on the breadboard.
Description lm3916 is a dedicated ic for vu led meter. 20 10 7 5 3 1 0 1 2 3db just like old school analog vu meters. 20 10 7 5 3 1 0 1 2 3db just like old school analog vu meters. This instructable will build one out on the breadboard.
