LM386 Low Voltage Audio Power Amplifier
(276-1731)                  Specifications            Faxback Doc. # 19440

Operating Supply Voltage:.............................4 V (Min)  12 V (Max)
                                                      5 V (Min)  18 V (Max)
Quiescent Current:..............................4 mA (Typical)  8 mA  (Max)
Output Power:................................250 mW (Min)  325 mW (Typical)
                                             500 mW (Min)  700 mW (Typical)
                                            700 mW (Min)  100  mW (Typical)
Voltage Gain 1 kHz, 6V......................................26 dB (Typical)
   10 microFarad from Pin 1-8.........................................46 dB
Bandwidth 6 V, Pins 1 and 8 open....................................300 kHZ
Total Harmonic Distortion....................................0.2% (Typical)
Power Supply Rejection Ratio..........................................50 dB
Input Resistance...................................................50 k Ohm
Input Bias Current...................................................250 nA

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATING
   Supply Voltage......................................................15 V
   Storage Temperature.......................-65 Degrees C to 150 Degrees C
Operating Temperature...........................0 Degrees C to 70 Degrees C

NOTE:  The gain is internally set to 20 to keep external part count low.
       But the addition of an external resistor and capacitor between pins
       1 and 8 will increase gain to any value up to 200.  The inputs are
       ground referenced while the output is automatically biased to
       one-half the supply voltage.  The quiescent power drain is only
       24 mW when operating from a 6 V supply.

Specifications are typical; individual units might vary.  Specifications
are subject to change without notice.
