LM387/LM387A Low Noise Dual Preamplifier

LM387/LM387A Low Noise Dual Preamplifier

March 1987

General Description

The LM387 is a dual preamplifier for the amplification of low
level signals in applications requiring optimum noise per­formance. Each of the two amplifiers is completely indepen­dent, with an internal power supply decoupler-regulator, pro­viding 110 dB supply rejection and 60 dB channel separa­tion. Other outstanding features include high gain (104 dB),
large output voltage swing (V
bandwidth (75 kHz, 20 Vp-p). The LM387A is a selected

version of the LM387 that has lower noise in a NAB tape
circuit, and can operate on a larger supply voltage. The
LM387 operates from a single supply across the wide range
of 9V to 30V, the LM387A operates on a supply of 9V to
40V.

The amplifiers are internally compensated for gains greater
than 10. The LN387, LM387A is available in an 8-lead dual­in-line package. The LM387, LM387A is biased like the
LM381. See AN-64 and AN-104.
