The LM1877 is a monolithic dual power amplifier designed to
deliver 2W/channel continuous into8Ωloads.TheLM1877is
designed to operate with a low number of external components, and still provide flexibility for use in stereo phonographs, tape recorders and AM-FM stereo receivers, etc.
Each power amplifier is biased fromacommoninternalregulator to provide high power supply rejection, and output Q
point centering. The LM1877 is internally compensated for
all gains greater than 10.
