Tessie Swift Posted August 5, 2021 Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 I want to use LM3914N to display the power level, 12v input, but it is not bright enough after being turned on. It is only 1.8v when measured with a voltmeter. What can be used to increase the voltage after turning on and the voltage can be above 3.3v? Many thanks for help!

I believe it is sinking current not supplying voltage. Also there are numerous web sites on how to build an LM3914 dot/bar display driver circuit. See: https://www.ti.com/product/LM3914 For others; this is what it looks like: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
