LM339 Using for LED VU Meter


Posted on Feb 6, 2014

This circuit in below uses two quad voltage comparator using IC LM339 to illuminate a series of 8 LEDs indicating volume level. Each of the 8 comparators is biased at increasing voltages set by the voltage divider so that the lower right LED comes on first when the input is about 400 mili volts or about 22 mili watt peaks in an 8 ohm system. The d

ivider voltages are set so that each LED represents about twice the power level as the one before so the scale extends from 22 mili watts to about 2. 5 watts when all LEDs are lit. The sensitivity can be decreased with the input control to read higher levels. I have not built or tested this circuit, so please let me know if you have problems getting it working. This is the power levels should be as follows:
