An LED driver that will sequentially light ten LEDs when a gradually increasing voltage is applied to pin 5 dot mode or in bar mode all LEDs indicating voltages below input are lit. In dot mode there is a slight overlap so that at no point are all LEDs extinguished. A brightness control will set LED current between 2m A & 30m A. The drivers are stackable & displays with 100 or more LEDs are possible. Supply voltage 3V to 18V. The driver that sets the indication points can be referenced to a wide range of voltages. The LM3914 is available with linear steps.
