The LM380 is a power audio amplifier for consumer application. In order to holdsystemcostto a minimum, gain is internally fixed at 34 dB. A unique input stage allows inputs to be
ground referenced. The output is automatically self centering
to one half the supply voltage.
The output is short circuit proof with internal thermal limiting.
The package outline is standard dual-in-line. A copper lead
frame is used with the center three pins on either side comprising a heat sink. This makes the device easy to use in
standard p-c layout.
Uses include simple phonograph amplifiers, intercoms, line
drivers, teaching machine outputs, alarms, ultrasonic drivers, TV sound systems, AM-FM radio, small servo drivers,
power converters, etc.
