NTE1561
Integrated Circuit
5 LED VU Level Meter
Description:
The NTE1561 is a monolithic integrated circuit in a 9–Lead SIP type package designed for use as a
5 dot LED level meter driver. With a built–in rectifying amplifier, this device is suitable for AC/DC level
meter applications such as VU meters or signal meters.
