vu ppm audio metering circuit

Peak reading meters, popular in Europe for years, are just now coming into greater favor in America, and for good reason. The main purpose for having a VU meter is obviously to monitor signal levels going to a tape recorder,...

LED bar peak program meter display for audio

A vertical column of LEDs is configured so that as the audio signal level rises, an increasing number of LEDs illuminate. The LEDs are arranged in increments of 6 dB. The circuit features a fast response time and a one-second...

Roulette with LED Display

This circuit is a small digital roulette. It is constituted by oscillator IC1, the counter IC2, the transistors Q1-7 that drive the display common cathode DSP1. The supply basically becomes from a battery 9V, but can become also from one...

High-speed control scheme LED display screen circuit diagram and principle

This document outlines the theory behind a high-speed control scheme for an LED display screen circuit. The circuit utilizes the MCS51 series microcontroller to manage the LED display. A 62512 random access memory (RAM) is employed for data storage, holding...
