Project your circuit of the audio amplifier with the ic lm386 lm386n lm386n-1

General description of the ic lm386
The LM386 is a power amplifier designed for use in low voltage
consumer applications.
The gain is internally set to 20 to keep external part count low,
but the addition of an external resistor and capacitor between
pins 1 and 8 will increase the gain to any value from 20 to
200.
The inputs are ground referenced while the output automatically
biases to one-half the supply voltage. The quiescent power drain
is only 24 milliwatts when operating from a 6 volts supply,
making the LM386 ideal for battery operation.

Control gain for project of the circuit using the ic lm386
To make the LM386 a more versatile amplifier, two pins (1 and 8)
are provided for gain control. With pins 1 and 8 open the 1.35
kΩ resistor sets the gain at 20 (26 dB). If a capacitor is
put from pin 1 to 8, bypassing the 1.35 kΩ resistor, the
gain will go up to 200 (46 dB). If a resistor is placed in series
with the capacitor, the gain can be set to any value from 20 to
200. Gain control can also be done by capacitively coupling a
resistor (or FET) from pin 1 to ground.
Additional external components can be placed in parallel with
the internal feedback resistors to tailor the gain and frequency
response for individual applications. For example, we can
compensate poor speaker bass response by frequency shaping the
feedback path. This is done with a series RC from pin 1 to 5
(paralleling the internal 15 kΩ resistor).
For 6 dB effective bass boost: R . 15 kΩ, the lowest value
or good stable operation is R = 10 kΩ if pin 8 is open. If
pins 1 and 8 are bypassed then R as low as 2 kΩ can be
used.
This restriction is because the amplifier is only compensated
for closed-loop gains greater than 9.
INPUT BIASING
The schematic shows that both inputs are biased to ground with a
50kΩ resistor. The base current of the input transistors is
about 250 nA, so the inputs are at about 12.5 mV when left open.
If the dc source resistance driving the LM386 is higher than 250
kΩ it will contribute very little additional offset (about
2.5 mV at the input, 50 mV at the output). If the dc source
resistance is less than 10 kΩ, then shorting the unused
input to ground will keep the offset low (about 2.5 mV at the
input, 50 mV at the output). For dc source resistances between
these values we can eliminate excess offset by putting a resistor
from the unused input to ground, equal in value to the dc source
resistance. Of course all offset problems are eliminated if the
input is capacitively coupled.
When using the LM386 with higher gains (bypassing the 1.35
kΩ resistor between pins 1 and 8) it is necessary to
by-pass the unused input, preventing degradation of gain and
possible instabilities. This is done with a 0.1 µF capacitor
or a short to ground depending on the dc source resistance on the
driven input.
