Electronics Quick question - LM3914

I've got a common cathode bargraph display...which means, from what I've read, it won't work with an LM3914. Am I wrong? If I'm not, any simple alternative solutions? I'd like to still use the bargraph I have.

 

Stick an octal inverter between the IC and the LED array.

 

I knew there'd be a good solution here. Thanks!

EDIT: Is the 74HC540 what I'm looking for?

 

Nope, need something that can supply a bit more juice on the outputs, like the 74ACT04

 

This a 10-led display? 2 hex cheaper/less bulky than 2 octopi, lots of choice.

whypick1 beats me to the tape

 

@ whypick1 - that looks good, but I'd imagine something with all the outputs on one side would make it a bit easier to build on stripboard, I'll check for one

@ cpemma - yes, it is a 10-led display

Hmm, looks like only the octal inverters have the outputs on one side. I'll probably just stick with the hex inverters though.
