Making A Low Power Audio Amplifier With LM386

LM386 is a low voltage audio power amplifier suitable for AM/FM radio applications, and others portable battery powered applications. It's an 8-pin analog IC supplied with the voltage between 4 to 12 V.

LM386 comes with both a DIP and a SMD package.

Pin diagram and functions

The voltage gain for this device is 20 when pin 1 and pin 8 are opened. Using an external resistor and capacitor connected between these two pin could increase the gain between 20 to 200.



A typical application from the device datasheet. When pin 1 and 8 are opened
the gain is internally set to 20.

I have test my designed circuit on bread board before I decide to design it in software and making a fabrication.
