LM386 Low Voltage Audio Power Amplifier

Introducing the extraordinary Lonely Binary LM386 Power Amplifiers, specially crafted for low voltage consumer applications. We've designed these amplifiers with convenience in mind, setting the gain to a default value of 20 to keep your part count low. But don't worry, with the addition of a simple external resistor and capacitor between pins 1 and 8, you can unlock a world of possibilities and increase the gain to any value ranging from 20 to a mind-blowing 200!

Experience ground-breaking performance as the inputs of the Lonely Binary LM386 Power Amplifiers are perfectly grounded, while the output smartly biases itself to one-half the supply voltage. And that's not all - our ingenious design ensures a mere 24 mW of quiescent power drain when operating from a 6-V supply, making these amplifiers an absolute game-changer for battery-powered devices.

Embrace the power of sound with Lonely Binary, the brand that never fails to deliver exceptional quality and unmatched innovation. Get your hands on the Lonely Binary LM386 Power Amplifiers and witness the magic they bring to your audio projects. Prepare to be amazed as your low voltage consumer applications reach new heights of brilliance and clarity. It's time to amplify your audio experience with Lonely Binary!
