DESCRIPTION
The UTC LM386 is a power amplifier, designed for use in low voltage consumer applications. The gain is internally set to 20 to keep external part count low, but the addition of an external resistor and capacitor between pin 1 and pin 8 will increase the gain to any value up from 20 to 200 dB.
The inputs are ground referenced while 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.
