Amp Power Supply

May 23, 2008 2 Replies

I'm building an amplifier for my iPod, based on two LM380 chips, I was wondering if you could parallel the two amplifier sections off the one battery supply, which will be a 9 volt battery in series with two AAA batteries.

** No.

LM380s are not suitable for 9 volt radio battery operation.

The LM386 is.
