LM384N

Texas Instruments · Audio Amplifiers · PDIP-14

LM384N from Texas Instruments, in a PDIP-14. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 BYPASS passive Bypass pin for the internal bias, decoupled to ground with a 5 µF capacitor in the typical application.
2 NON-INVERTING INPUT input Non-inverting input, ground-referenced; tied to ground in the typical 5W amplifier, with input voltage limited to ±0.5V.
3 GND power_in Ground pin that is part of the heat sink pins (3, 4, 5) of the copper lead frame.
4 GND power_in Ground pin that is part of the heat sink pins (3, 4, 5) of the copper lead frame.
5 GND power_in Ground pin that is part of the heat sink pins (3, 4, 5) of the copper lead frame.
6 INVERTING INPUT input Inverting input, which receives the signal in the typical 5W amplifier, with input voltage limited to ±0.5V and input impedance of 150 kΩ.
7 GND power_in Ground pin for the amplifier.
8 VOUT output Amplifier output, self-centering to one-half the supply voltage, short-circuit proof with peak current capability of 1.3A.
9 NC unconnected No connection.
10 GND power_in Ground pin that is part of the heat sink pins (10, 11, 12) of the copper lead frame.
11 GND power_in Ground pin that is part of the heat sink pins (10, 11, 12) of the copper lead frame.
12 GND power_in Ground pin that is part of the heat sink pins (10, 11, 12) of the copper lead frame.
13 NC unconnected No connection.
14 VS power_in Positive supply voltage, 12V to 26V operating range, 28V absolute maximum.

CAD (KiCad official)

  • Symbol: LM384N
  • Footprint: Package_DIP:DIP-14_W7.62mm
  • 3D model: PDIP-14 (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
  • 3D model files: lm384n-etched.step / lm384n-etched.glb carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable Adom.LaserEtch group (Fusion-ready); lm384n.step / lm384n.glb are the bare package body.
