3:Alternative model recommendation
LM389N:The LM389N chip is also a display driver. In some aspects, it has similar functions to the LM3914N-1, such as being able to be used to drive LEDs for level indication. However, the LM389N is different from the LM3914N-1 in internal circuit structure and specific parameters. For example, there may be differences in its voltage adaptation range and output current capability.
MAX7219:It is a product of Maxim. It is mainly used to drive multi-digit LED digital tubes or matrix LED displays. Although its application scenario is not completely the same as that of LM3914N-1. LM3914N-1 is mainly used for LED display driving of linear analog quantities, while MAX7219 focuses more on digital display.
TLC5926IPWPR:Texas Instruments’ LED lighting driver chip, packaged in a surface-mount TSSOP24, is primarily used for LED lighting drivers. However, it can be used as an alternative to the LM3914N-1 to achieve similar LED display functions in applications where display accuracy is not particularly critical and where analog signals can be appropriately converted to suitable digital inputs for the chip. It features multiple output channels, allowing flexible control of multiple LEDs.
MAX6955:MAX6955, a product of Maxim Integrated, is a serial input/output LED display driver that can drive multiple-digit seven-segment digital tubes or matrix LED displays. It has multiple display modes and control functions. By connecting to a microcontroller or other control circuits through a serial interface, flexible display control can be achieved.
