BA6810S
The BA6810S is a two-channel, 12-point fluorescent display tube driver for VU-scale bar-level meters.
It uses a dynamic-drive system and has both AC and DC inputs. The AC input mode has a peak hold circuit. The IC
features a power-on mute, and the output block can directly drive fluorescent display tubes, so few external components
are required, allowing cost and space savings while improving reliability.
The grid output duty cycle is 1 / 8.
Applications
Level meters for all types of AV equipment
Features
