The LM386N-3 is a versatile low voltage audio power amplifier designed by National Semiconductor for various consumer electronics applications. It operates over a wide supply voltage range, from 4V to 18V, making it suitable for battery-powered devices. The amplifier's gain is internally set to 20, but can be increased to any value between 20 and 200 with the addition of an external resistor and capacitor.
Key electrical characteristics include a low quiescent current drain of 4mA and a low distortion rate of 0.2% at specific test conditions. The LM386N-3 can deliver up to 500mW of output power at 9V supply with an 8-ohm load and 10% THD. The output automatically biases to half the supply voltage, simplifying external circuitry.
This component is available in an 8-pin MSOP package, suitable for surface mounting. Its ground-referenced input and self-centering output quiescent voltage further reduce the need for external components, making it ideal for applications where minimal part count is desired. Applications include AM-FM radio amplifiers, portable tape players, intercoms, and TV sound systems.
