Description
LM386N DIP8 LM386 DIP LM386N-1
The LM386 is a highly popular, low-power audio power amplifier integrated circuit (IC) widely used in battery-operated consumer devices like portable radios, small guitar amplifiers, and hobby electronics projects.
Your terms all refer to specific structural or electrical variants of this same core IC component:
- LM386 / LM386 DIP / LM386N: These terms broadly designate the standard version of the integrated circuit. The “N” suffix specifically indicates the standard plastic Dual In-line Package (DIP).
- DIP8: This specifies the package style and physical pin configuration, meaning it has 8 pins configured in two parallel rows. This through-hole design makes it highly friendly for breadboards and traditional prototyping.
- LM386N-1: This indicates the specific entry-level sub-variant of the chip. The code after the hyphen determines the precise supply voltage limits and maximum output power.
Technical specifications
The baseline performance metrics for the standard variants include:
- Operating Voltage: Typically operates between 4V to 12V DC.
- Quiescent Current: Low power drain of around 4mA, making it exceptional for battery life.
- Adjustable Gain: Internally pre-set to 20x to reduce external parts, but easily modified from 20x to 200x by adding an external resistor and capacitor between Pin 1 and Pin 8.
- Total Harmonic Distortion: Roughly 0.2% under typical test scenarios.
