LM386N-1 DIP ,Low Voltage Audio Power Amplifier - 4V to 12V, Adjustable Gain (20 to 200)

The LM386N-1 is a power amplifier specifically designed for low voltage applications, offering great performance with minimal external components. It features an adjustable gain, ranging from 20 to 200, which allows flexibility in various audio applications. The LM386N-1 operates from 4V to 12V, making it suitable for battery-powered devices. It has a low quiescent current of 4mA, ensuring efficient power use.

Additionally, its low distortion (0.2% at 125mW, 8Ω load) and low power consumption make it ideal for AM/FM radios, TV sound systems, intercoms, and more. The amplifier also includes ground-referenced input, internal thermal shutdown protection, and operates with a self-centering quiescent voltage.
