The BA6104 is a five-digit LED level meter driver integrated circuit (IC) used in basic application circuits. When the input level exceeds the required display threshold of 1V, only 7 feet of the power supply Vcc are indirectly affected by a resistance R. The reference voltage (Vref) will increase according to the relationship: Vref = [Vcc + 0.75R (kΩ)] / [0.75R (kΩ) + 1].

The BA6104 IC is designed to drive a five-digit LED display, providing a visual representation of signal levels in various electronic applications. Its operation is based on the input voltage level, which is monitored and compared to a predefined threshold. When the input voltage surpasses the threshold of 1V, the circuit activates the display, illuminating the appropriate segments of the LED display to indicate the level.

The reference voltage (Vref) is a critical parameter in this circuit, as it determines the sensitivity and accuracy of the level measurement. The relationship provided indicates that Vref is influenced by the power supply voltage (Vcc) and the resistance (R) connected to the circuit. Specifically, as resistance increases, Vref also increases, thereby affecting the display output. This relationship can be utilized to calibrate the circuit for specific applications, allowing for adjustments based on the required input voltage range.

In practical implementations, the circuit may include additional components such as capacitors for smoothing the power supply and ensuring stable operation, as well as other passive components that may be necessary for signal conditioning. Proper layout and component selection are essential to minimize noise and ensure accurate level readings. The BA6104 IC is suitable for use in audio level meters, signal processing equipment, and other applications where visual level indication is beneficial. As shown is BA6104 Five-digit LED level meter driver IC basic application circuit if the level is higher than required to display 1V, only 7 feet in the power supply Vcc indire ct a resistance R, the Vref will rise to their relationship as: Vref [Vcc + 0.75R (k )]]/[0.75R (k ) +1].
