LM386 op/audio amp
The LM386 is a low voltage audio power amplifier designed for use in 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 pins 1 and 8 will increase the gain to any value from 20 to 200. The input common-mode range includes ground, and the amplifier is ideal for battery operation.
