LM380 power audio amplifier circuit

This LM380 electronic schematic circuit presented in this page is audio power amplifier designed for consumer applications.
Using LM380 and few external components can be designed a simple audio amplifier that has many features like : wide supply voltage range , 150kΩ input impedance , low distortion , 1.3A current capability .The LM830 can be used in many applications like : intercoms, alarms, ultrasonic drivers, TV sound systems, AM-FM radio and others .

The output power for this LM380 power audio amplifier circuit is around 2 watts in single way on a 8 ohms load impedance .
If we need more power than 2 watts we can connect two circuits in bridge mode like in figure below .
For this audio power amplifier circuit we need to use a 18 volts dc power supply .
