I would like to add andan indicator light to a system. It has to be bright, so LED.
However, theThe signal source for that indicator cannot provide enough current for even a basic LED. I don't want to design a whole circuit to amplify a signal. Are there any components that are simply indicators with built-in amplifier (soso they take GND, 5V and on/off signal for example)?
EDIT: I know that could be done with 3-4 additional elements (transistor, few resistors).) I just hoped that this is a frequent enough use case for an indicator that something like this would exist as aan integrated component, and that I just cannot find it (not knowing how it is actually called). I)
I am searching Farnell and google but it seems that I cannot figure out the proper keywords for such functionality.
