Application Hints (Continued)
For precision full-wave averaging use the circuit in
Figure 5.
Using 1% resistors for R1 through R4, gain for positive and
negative signal differs by only 0.5 dB worst case. Substitut-
ing 5% resistors increases this to 2 dB worst case. (A 2 dB
gain difference means that the display may have a ±1dBer-
ror when the input is a nonsymmetrical transient). The aver-
aging time constant is R5
C2. A simple modification results
in the precision full-wave detector of
Figure 6. Since the filter
capacitor is not buffered, this circuit can drive only high im-
pedance loads such as the input of an LM3916.
AUDIO METER STANDARDS
VU Meter
The audio level meter most frequently encountered is the VU
meter. Its characteristics are defined as the ANSI specifica-
tion C165. The LM3916’s outputs correspond to the meter
indications specified with the omission of the −2 VU indica-
tion. The VU scale divisions differ slightly from a linear scale
in order to obtain whole numbers in dB.
Some of the most important specifications for an AC meter
are its dynamic characteristics. These define how the meter
responds to transients and how fast the reading decays. The
VU meter is a relatively slow full-wave averaging type, speci-
fied to reach 99% deflection in 300 ms and overshoot by 1 to
1.5%. In engineering terms this means a slightly under-
damped second order response with a resonant frequency
of 2.1 Hz andaQof 0.62.
Figure 7 depicts a simple rectifier/
filter circuit that meets these criteria.
