Lm3886 (bpa-200)

[rdunnit]

I was wondering if anyone has built the bridge-parallel amplifier (BPA-200) that is on the National Semiconductor website. I was curious also as what voltage should the mute pin have applied to it. I have been reading a lot on here and other sources and I am ready to build an amplifier system. I was wanting to build the BPA-200 for subwoofer and then use 4 minimized gainclone amplifiers in a bi-amp configuration. So effectively I would have a tri-way system utilizing an electronic crossover design that I would build. Any help on the BPA-200 would be appreciated!

Thanks!!!

Has anyone had much success with the LM3886? I did a search and found where people had used the IC's before but could not find out much info about what resistor value (ie voltage value)should be on the mute pin. Any help would be appreciated.

there is info on the voltage around here somewhere....i just can't remember where. try ampchip diy forum if you can't find it here. or then again, check the data sheet at national. those datasheets are full of useful info like that

I am playing with some LM3886. Currently I'm using 1k between - and mute. I've also tried with 3k ohm both works fine with +-25v rails.


The datasheet states that if you draw 0.5 ma or more from the mute pin then the mute is disabled.

du er bare go'...........

I'm even using 47 kOhm between mute and -, and it works fine.
