Audio level meter (VU Meter): This circuit uses just one IC and a very
few number of external components. It displays the audio level in terms of 10 LEDs. The input voltage can vary from 12V to 20V, but suggested
voltage is 12V. The LM3915 is a monolithic integrated circuit that senses analog voltage levels and drives ten LEDs providing a logarithmic 3
dB/step analog display. LED current drive is regulated and programmable, eliminating the need for current limiting resistors. The IC contains
an adjustable voltage reference and an accurate ten-step voltage divider. The high-impedance input buffer accepts signals down to ground and
up to within 1.5V of the positive supply. Further, it needs no protection against inputs of ±35V. The input buffer drives 10 individual
comparators referenced to the precision divider. Accuracy is typically better than 1 dB. (added 09/05) |

Digital volume Control has log taper: 04/11/02 EDN Design
Ideas / (added 1/05) Digital potentiometers provide a compact and convenient way to attenuate audio-amplifier signals.
However, most such potentiometers suffer from at least one flaw: a nonlogarithmic step increment. To avoid this problem, a user must usually
step the potentiometer in a nonlinear sequence to simulate a logarithmic taper. ... |

High Resolution Volume Unit Meter Simplifies CD Recording:
06/21/01 EDN-Design Ideas / (added 5/03) Digitally recorded music on CDs offers superior quality to that recorded on vinyl records or tape,
but most prerecorded CDs have an annoying characteristic: The average volume levels of the recorded signal can vary by as much as 14 dB from
disk to disk. Significant variances, such as 4 dB, can occur from track to track on a single CD. This variation can be a problem when
recording your own CDs because you can end up with large variations in loudness between songs.... |
