 INTRODUCTION
Amplifier is a basic component of all the music systems
available in market. The need of this intermediate
circuitry exists so that we can hear crystal clear music
from the music systems. Mini Audio Amplifier project
is a mini version of such amplifier systems. This is easy
to implement and test with the help of audio jack. The
signals given by an audio transmitter device such as cell
phone through a 3.5mm audio jack cable is very low in
amplitude. Such a signal if given to the speaker, the
sound output given by the speaker will be very less and
might not be audible even to a nearby person. So
instead we given the audio input to the amplifier
circuitry. The amplifier circuitry amplifies this audio
signal. The amplified version of the audio input is fed to
the input of the speaker which then converts it into
sound output. Audio frequency range lies in the
frequency range of 20Hz – 20KHz. The purpose of
audio amplifier lies in to increase the amplitude of
signals lying in this frequency range and suppress the
rest. So the audio amplifier circuitry is configures in
such way that it will multiply the audible range signals
with a positive gain factor. With the help of two
potentiometers we can vary the gain factor or the
volume of the audio amplifier.

Aim:
This project is to make a mini audio amplifier using ic
lm386

Apparatus Required:
 220 uf /1000 uf/470 uf capacitor
 .047 uf capacitor
 LM 386 IC
 100 uf capacitor
 10k ohm resistor
 Bread board / PCB
 Wires
 10k potentiometer
 3.5mm jack plug
 Battery 9v/12v
 Speaker 4ohms
WORKING :
The LM386 IC is a low voltage audio power amplifier with a
default voltage gain of 20, which can howeverbe increased to
any value between 20 and 200 by simply placing an external
series RC circuit between pins 1 and 8.So pin 1 and 8 are gain
controlling pins. In the amplifier circuit, the output AC power
is clearly larger than the input AC power reflecting the
voltage, and thus power, gain. The increase in AC power in
going from the input terminals of the amplifier to the output
terminals are provided by the DC voltage source biasing the
circuit. In the case of the LM386 IC, the operating DC power
source must have a voltage between 4V and 12V and supply
a current of 100 mA. So I provide it a power supply of 9 volt
and 220 mA. These values of DC voltage and current are
readily provided by a battery so that an audio amplifier based
on the LM386 IC is very much amenable to battery operation.

Applications:
