Hi

Looking at the attached pic can anyone advise for using the circuit in bar mode!

JB1,2,3,4 and JD1,2

Looking at the lm3916 pdf says connect pin 9 to +vcc for bar mode but what about JD1 and JD2?

Cheers

John

The one thing that I did not like about the LM3196/5 is that the LEDs were not always hard on or off, but could appear to be fading on and off (i.e., those LEDs on the leading edge of the bar graph). I rather liked the fluorescent bar graph displays that were found in the Technics and Pioneer equipment of the time ('80s). Any options with regards to making the 3196 crcuit perform similarly?
