NSC LM383

General Description
Features
The LM383 is a cost effective, high power amplifier suited for
automotive applications. High current capability (3.5A) enables the device to drive low impedance loads with low distortion. The LM383 is current limited and thermally protected.
High voltage protection is available (LM383A) which enables
the amplifier to withstand 40V transients on its supply. The
LM383 comes in a 5-pin TO-220 package.

Note 1: A 0.2 µF capacitor in series with a 1Ω resistor should be placed as close as possible to pins 3 and 4 for stability.
Note 2: The LM383 shuts down above 25V.
Note 3: For operating at elevated temperatures, the device must be derated based on a 150˚C maximum junction temperature and a thermal resistance of 4˚C/W
junction to case.
