SG2173P Op-Amp Class B. What can I use it for? Ideas?

[lineup]

I have a couple of 'bad' op-amps.

It is one 5 pin TO-220 power opamp. With max 3.5 Ampere output.
Same size and pins as for example LM1875/LM3875.

When I tried it for Audio output, it was a terrible crossover distortion 😀

What possibly can I use it for.

Some sort of DC output power supply?
Voltage Regulated output maybe, using some Voltage reference at input?
Any ideas are welcome 🙂


Datasheet can no longer be found, but spec sheet say the following:

SG2173P
Single General Purpose Op Amp - Pwr Op Amp,3.5A output current

Input Bias Current Max. (A)=1.0u
Unity Gain BW (Hz)=1.0M
V(io) Max. (V)=10 mV, offset
I(io) Max. (A)=250n, bias current offset

Com Mode Inp Range (VICR)= 15 Volt
P(D) Max.(W) Power Dissipation= 1.3 Watt (without heatsink)
Nom. Supp (V)=15 Volt
Package=TO-220
Pins=5

Maybe in the trash bin? 😀 😀 😀
I am kidding of course.
