LM386M-1

Texas Instruments · Audio Amplifiers · SOIC-8

LM386M-1 from Texas Instruments, in a SOIC-8. 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 GAIN passive Gain setting pin; with a resistor and capacitor connected between pins 1 and 8 the gain can be set from 20 to 200, and with pins 1 and 8 open the internal gain is 20.
2 -INPUT input Inverting input of the amplifier.
3 +INPUT input Noninverting input of the amplifier.
4 GND power_in Ground reference for the device.
5 VOUT output Amplifier output.
6 VS power_in Power supply voltage pin; the datasheet specifies 4 V to 12 V for LM386M-1 (Recommended Operating Conditions, page 4).
7 BYPASS output Bypass decoupling path, used to decouple the internal bias node with an external capacitor.
8 GAIN passive Gain setting pin; used together with pin 1 to connect an external resistor and capacitor for gain setting between 20 and 200.
