Animated Circuit with full components detail
IC LM386 is a famous low power audio amplifier, it consumes low power supply like batteries in electronics and electrical circuits. This IC consists of 8 pins. Voltage gain of this amplifier can be adjusted to 20, and gain voltage will be 200 by connecting external components like capacitors as well as resistors among the pins’ no 8 and 1. As the amplifier uses 6 volts power supply for operation than the static power drains 24 mill watts to make the amplifier. This IC consists of 8-pins where pin-1 and pin-8 are gain control of the amplifier.
Pin Configuration of LM386
This IC consists of 8 pin the functions of all pins are as follows.
- Pin1 (gain Pin): The 1st pin of this IC is gain pin it is used adjust the amplifier from the external components like capacitors resistors.
- Pin2 (-Input Pin): Pin 2 is the input pin of this IC, it is used to provide the audio signal.
- Pin3 (+INPUT): Pin 3 is the inverting terminal and it is connected to ground.
- Pin4 (GND): This pin is used to connect ground of the circuit.
- Pin5 (Vout): Cout pin is used to get output of the amplifier.
- Pin-6 (VCC): This pin is used to connect supply.
- Pin-7 (Bypass): The bypass pin is used to connect a decoupling capacitor.
- Pin-8 (Gain): It is used for setting.
