This IC is low voltage and low current, it can be used in portable and battery operated designs or circuits
If you are looking for a better alternative of LM386 that works on low voltage and also on low current and can be used in portable and battery operated designs or circuits then TDA2822M can be a better choice for you. TDA2822M is a 8 pin IC available in 8 pin Minidip and other small packages. There are many features of this which makes it ideal to use in the place of LM386 in your design such as its stereo feature. The IC contains dual low voltage amplifiers due to which you can easily make a stereo amplifier with it. Moreover, it has very low quiescent current and it only drains typically 6mA and maximum of 9mA in the standby mode.
There is often some confusion between the TDA2822 and TDA2822M IC, TDA2822 is a bigger IC that comes in Powerdip package while the TDA2822M comes in 8 pin Minidip package. There is also little technical difference between the two ICs few differences are the small version has the minimum operating voltage of 1.5V while the bigger version’s minimum operating voltage is 3V, also the big version has a little bit more output power than the small version but if your output audio amplification requirement is around 1Watt then the small version is enough for that purpose.
