Description:

The NTE1510 is an integrated circuit in an 8–Lead SIP type package designed for use in level meter applications. This device is capable of driving 5 LEDs to create a bar–type display. In accordance with the input level, the uppermost LED brightness varies to form a linear indicator, making the NTE1510 ideal for use in signal meters and VU meters. A low–voltage reference power supply is built–in, so that the only external components required are LEDs, resistors, and capacitors.

Features:

• Bar–Type Display of Input Level using 5 LEDs

• The Uppermost LED Brightness Varies Linearly With Respect to the Input Level Resulting in a High–Resolution Display with No Radiation.

• Built–In Reference Supply

• By Changing the External Reference Values, the LED Brightness can be Adjusted

• Wide Range of Supply Voltages: VCC = 4V to 18V

• High Input Impedance: IIN = 100nA Typ

Applications:

• Signal Meters

• VU Meters

• Tuning Meters

• General Purpose Display Applications
