Computer microphones The LM386 is a versatile, small power amplifier designed for use in low voltage
Metal detectors consumer applications. The gain is internally set to 20 to keep external part count
Wireless microphone low, but with the addition of an external resistor and capacitor between pins 1-8 the
Digital and analog gain can be set to any value from 20 to 200.
multimeters
The inputs are ground referenced and the output automatically biases to one-half the supply
voltage. The quiescent power drain is only 24 milliwatts when operating from a 6 Volt supply,
making the LM386 ideal for battery operation.

To make the LM 386 a more versatile amplifier, 2 pins (pin 1

IPDiA and 8) are provided for gain control. With pins 1 and 8 open
Silicon the internal 1.35k resistor sets the gain at 20 (26 dB). If a
capacitor is placed between pin 1-8, bypassing the built-in
Capacitors 1.35k resistor, the gain will go up to 200.

If a resistor is placed in series with the capacitor, the gain can

be set to any value from 20 to 200. Gain control can also be
done by capacitively coupling a resistor or FET transistor from
pin 1 to the ground.

Simple audio amplifier schematics with LM386

Operating Supply Voltage (VS) = 4v - 12v

The output power (POUT)

for LM386N-1, LM386M-1 at VS = 6V, RL = 8ohms, THD = 10% is 250-325 mW
for LM386N-3 at VS = 9V, RL = 8ohms, THD = 10% is 500-700 mW
for LM386N-4 at VS = 16V, RL = 32ohms, THD = 10% is 700-1000 mW.
