Description:

The NTE1511 is an integrated circuit in an 14–Lead DIP 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 NTE1511 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:

• Wide Supply Voltage Range: +5V to +16V

• Reference Voltage: Vref = 2.8V ±0.2V

• LED Output Voltage: Constant Voltage

• LED Current: Constant Current by Means of an External Resistor

• Allowable Power Dissipation: Pdmax = 1.15W @ TA = +25°C
