DESCRIPTION
National Semiconductor LM386N-1 low-voltage audio power amplifier in an 8-pin DIP package. Designed for audio applications including radios, portable players and intercoms. Includes one component as pictured.

Features:
Internally set voltage gain of 20
Gain adjustable up to 200 with external components
Ground-referenced inputs
Suitable for battery-powered circuits

Compatibility:
For circuits specifying LM386N-1 with matching pinout, supply voltage and load requirements. Other LM386 suffixes have different ratings; verify the exact variant before substitution.

Q&A:
What supply does it require?
A single 4–12V DC operating supply.

Is 325mW available under all operating conditions?
No. This typical rating applies at 6V DC into 8Ω with 10% total harmonic distortion.

How is gain adjusted?
Pins 1 and 8 provide gain control. External capacitor and resistor selection sets gain between 20 and 200.

Troubleshooting:
For incorrect gain, check the components connected to pins 1 and 8 against the manufacturer's application circuit. With both pins open, nominal gain is 20. For high-gain operation, follow the manufacturer's guidance on bypassing the unused input.
