Product Description

LM386 - Low Voltage Power Amplifier
 
General Description
The LM386 is a power amplifier designed for use in low voltage consumer applications. The gain is internally set to 20 to keep external part count low, but the addition of an external resistor and capacitor between pins 1 and 8 will increase the gain to any value up to 200.
 
The inputs are ground referenced while the output is automatically biased to one half the supply voltage. The quiescent power drain is only 24 milliwatts when operating from a 6 volt supply, making the LM386 ideal for battery operation.
 
Feature
  • Battery operation
  • Minimum external parts
  • Wide supply voltage range: 4V–12V or 5V–18V
  • Low quiescent current drain: 4 mA
  • Voltage gains from 20 to 200
  • Ground referenced input
  • Self-centering output quiescent voltage
  • Low distortion

 

Applications
  • AM-FM radio amplifiers
  • Portable tape player amplifiers
  • Intercoms
  • TV sound systems
  • Line drivers
  • Ultrasonic drivers
  • Small servo drivers
  • Power converters

Low voltage got you down?

Let this power amplifier cater to your low voltage applications. The LM386 is set to have an internal gain of 20 to lower external part count. Addition of external resistor and capacitor between pins one and eight will increase the gain of any value up to 200.

  • For low voltage applications
  • Internal gain of 20 to lower external part count
  • Gain can be increased up to 200 with the addition of an external resistor and capacitor
