We found this configuration in a 1990 Poptronics. The circuit can be powered by voltages between 6 and 15 V, changing the resistors in series with the LED. The frequency is set at R7.
This circuit indicates whether the voltage to be measured is higher or lower than the zener diode...
Obtained from an English publication, this circuit actually needs a current limiting resistor,...
Constant current sources are used in applications such as battery chargers, electrolytic tanks, etc....
