LM386N-4/NOPB Introduction

Want a battery-powered, compact, low-power amplifier that runs on relatively few external parts? In such a case, the LM386N-4/NOPB is your best bet. With its high power, low quiescent current drain, and voltage gain range of 20–200, this amplifier can be used in many audio systems. Its ground-referenced input does away with the need for a coupling capacitor, and its quiescent voltage centers itself to reduce distortion and guarantee true-to-life sound. The LM386N-4/NOPB has a distortion rate of only 0.2%, making it ideal for AM/FM radio amplifiers, intercoms, TV sound systems, portable tape player amplifiers, and more. Therefore, the LM386N-4/NOPB is an excellent choice for power converters, tiny servo drivers, and line drivers.

LM386N-4/NOPB Description

Both the LM386M-1 and the LM386MX-1 are examples of power amplifiers that were developed specifically for use in low-voltage consumer applications. Internally, the gain is fixed at 20, which helps keep the total number of external components minimum. However, by connecting an external resistor and capacitor between pins 1 and 8, the gain may be increased to any value between 20 and 200. While the inputs are referenced to ground, the output is automatically biased to a voltage that is equal to one-half of the supply voltage. The quiescent power consumption of only 24 mW while operated from a 6-V supply makes the LM386M-1 and LM386MX-1 perfect for battery operation.
