Frequently Asked Questions
What is the supply voltage range for the LM386N-1/NOPB?
The LM386N-1/NOPB operates on a supply voltage range of 4V to 12V, making it well suited for battery-powered applications. It draws a quiescent current of approximately 4mA, which helps extend battery life in portable consumer devices.
How much output power does the LM386N-1/NOPB deliver, and what load impedance is recommended?
The LM386N-1/NOPB delivers a nominal output power of 325mW into an 8Ω speaker load at a 6V supply. The device supports a 300kHz bandwidth and up to 10% harmonic distortion at maximum output, ensuring clear audio reproduction in low-power designs.
How can the voltage gain of the LM386N-1/NOPB be adjusted?
By default, the LM386N-1/NOPB has an internal gain of 20 (26dB). Connecting a capacitor between pins 1 and 8 increases the gain up to 200 (46dB). Adding a resistor in series with the capacitor allows gain to be set to any value between 20 and 200, giving designers flexible control over amplification.
What package does the LM386N-1/NOPB come in, and is it RoHS compliant?
The LM386N-1/NOPB is available in an 8-pin DIP (R-PDIP-T8) through-hole package, which is convenient for breadboard prototyping and easy PCB assembly. It is fully RoHS compliant with a Pb-free designation (JESD-609 code e4), suitable for environmentally conscious manufacturing.
What are common applications for the LM386N-1/NOPB?
The LM386N-1/NOPB is used in portable radios, intercoms, TV sound systems, handheld toys, ultrasonic drivers, and small speaker systems. Its single-channel audio amplification, low supply voltage requirements, and compact 8-pin DIP footprint make it a classic choice for cost-sensitive consumer electronics.
