LM386 IC Audio Amplifier

LM386 IC Audio Amplifier



All that is needed to build an audio amp are a few external components. I used sop-8 type ic.
It is well suited to low power applications and runs just fine on a 9 volt battery or 

any voltage supply from 4-12 volts. 


It has a low quiescent current drain of only 4mA so it won’t kill a battery right away
if you leave it on and idle. The gain is internally set to 20 but the addition of an
external resistor and capacitor between pins 1 and 8 will increase the gain to any
value from 20 to 200. An increase in bass frequency can be facilitated by adding a
10K resistor and .033 uf capacitor in series between pins 1 and 5.
