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.
