XL386 – Audio Power Amplifier – Xinluda

The Xinluda XL386 is a low-voltage mono audio power amplifier in a SOP-8 package, pin- and function-compatible with the classic LM386. Available for RFQ at Pacific Component Xchange.

The XL386 from Xinluda is a low-voltage mono audio power amplifier designed as a drop-in, function-compatible alternative to the industry-standard LM386. It delivers usable audio output power from a single low-voltage supply with a minimum of external components, making it a popular and cost-effective choice for battery-powered and consumer audio designs. The XL386 is supplied in a surface-mount SOP-8 package, with DIP-8 (XD386-1) and MSOP-8 (XL386-MS) variants also offered in the family.

Key Features

• Low-voltage audio power amplifier, LM386-compatible architecture
• Wide single-supply operating range of 4 V to 12 V
• Output power of 325 mW typical (250 mW minimum) into an 8 Ω load at V_S = 6 V, THD = 10%
• Internally fixed voltage gain of 20, externally adjustable up to 200 via a resistor/capacitor between pins 1 and 8
• Ground-referenced inputs; output self-biases to one-half the supply voltage
• Low quiescent current drain of approximately 4 mA, ideal for battery operation
• Low total harmonic distortion of 0.2% (A_V = 20, V_S = 6 V, R_L = 8 Ω, P_O = 125 mW, f = 1 kHz)
• Recommended speaker impedance from 4 Ω (gain/THD also characterized into a 32 Ω load)
• Operating free-air temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C
• RoHS compliant; SOP-8 surface-mount package (DIP-8 and MSOP-8 variants available)

Applications

• AM-FM radio and portable audio amplifiers
• Portable media and tape player amplifiers
• Intercoms and TV sound systems
• Line drivers and ultrasonic drivers
• Small servo drivers and power converters

Why Source XL386 from Pacific Component Xchange

The XL386 is produced by Xinluda and is largely sold into the Asian contract-manufacturing channel, so it can be difficult to obtain through traditional authorized North American and European distributors. Pacific Component Xchange specializes in sourcing hard-to-find and allocated power-management ICs and audio amplifiers like the XL386. As an independent distributor, we leverage a global supplier network to locate stock, support obsolete and end-of-life requirements, and ship worldwide.

Every order is backed by our authenticity and quality assurance process to help protect your build against counterfeit and substandard parts. Whether you need a handful of pieces for prototyping or production volumes, request a quote (RFQ) for the XL386 and our sourcing team will respond with current availability, pricing, and lead time.
