XL386-MS – Audio Power Amplifier – Xinluda

About this part

The XL386-MS from Xinluda is a low-voltage mono audio power amplifier supplied in a space-saving 8-pin MSOP package. Part of Xinluda’s XL386 family (which also includes the XL386 in SOP-8 and the XD386-1 in DIP-8), the XL386-MS is designed for low-voltage consumer audio applications and is functionally compatible with the industry-standard LM386. The “-MS” suffix denotes the MSOP-8 variant of the device.

Gain is internally set to 20 to keep the external part count to a minimum, but the addition of an external resistor and capacitor between pins 1 and 8 allows the gain to be set to any value from 20 up to 200. The inputs are ground-referenced while the output automatically biases to one-half the supply voltage, simplifying single-supply battery designs.

Key Features

• Low-voltage mono audio power amplifier, LM386-compatible
• Wide supply voltage range: 4 V to 12 V (5 V to 18 V on the higher-voltage 386 grade)
• Voltage gain internally set to 20 (26 dB), adjustable from 20 to 200 (46 dB) via external R/C between pins 1 and 8
• Low quiescent current drain: 4 mA
• Quiescent power drain only 24 mW from a 6 V supply – ideal for battery operation
• Ground-referenced input; self-centering output quiescent voltage
• Drives loads from 4 Ω to 32 Ω
• Low distortion: 0.2% (A_V = 20, V_S = 6 V, R_L = 8 Ω, P_O = 125 mW, f = 1 kHz)
• Minimum external parts count
• 8-pin MSOP package; package dissipation 0.595 W
• Operating free-air temperature: 0 °C to 70 °C; storage temperature: -65 °C to 150 °C

Applications

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

Why Source XL386-MS from Pacific Component Xchange

The XL386-MS is a hard-to-find part with little to no authorized-distributor stock, making it difficult to procure through conventional channels.
