Bargraph Voltage Indicator by LM339

Monday, May 19th, 2008


The circuit Bargraph Voltage Indicator used IC op-amp two quad voltage comparators to illuminate a series of 4 LEDs indicating volume level.
The op-amp used in this particular circuit is the LM339. It is a popular IC and should be available from many parts stores.
The 1K resistors in the circuit are essential so that [...]

A simple device to indicate various levels of hot water in a tank.
Save fuel bills and the economy of the planet with this circuit. SW1 is a normally open press button switch which allows you to view the level of hot water in a hot water tank. When pressed the voltage difference at the junction [...]

Audio Level Meter by BC108

Friday, April 11th, 2008


Audio levels can be monitored using a small panel meter with this circuit built from discrete components
The circuit has a flat frequency response from about 20Hz to well over 50Khz. Input sensitivity is 100mV for a full scale deflection on a 100uA meter. Built on two common emitter amplifiers, the first stage has a preset [...]
