You can purchase the LM386 chip from various electronics retailers, both online and in physical stores. Popular online platforms include Amazon, eBay, Digi-Key, and Mouser Electronics. Additionally, local electronics shops or hobbyist stores may carry the LM386. Always check for availability and compare prices before making a purchase.
the lm386 is used mainly as a audio ampplifier to power small speakers or headphones
LM stands for "Linear Monolithic"
A poker chip. A wood chip. A computer chip. A cow chip. A chip off the old block. A chip on the shoulder.
One of the beauties of an integrated circuit is that you can regard the package asa 'black box' characterized by its published operating parameters, and you don'tneed to analyze the internal circuit.If you've been assigned to analyze the internal circuit, then you're part of a classor group of people who have been given the tools necessary to do it. Just goahead and dig into the nine transistors there in the LM386. There's a single-stagedifferential amplifier with a few feedback components, and there's also what appearsto be a voltage regulator. There's not really that much in there, and you shouldn't bescared off by the use of PNP and NPN transistors in cascade.The whole thing is just an academic exercise anyway ... notice that the drawingin the data sheet is labeled "equivalent schematic", and doesn't really representeverything that's actually on the chip.
The Chip-Chip Gatherers was created in 1973.
It is in the small shape of a "chip". Therefore its a chocolate chip.
