LM386 LED max count...
« on: April 05, 2009, 05:22:23 PM »
I have a question, and am asking those who have already done this, to save myself the hassle of doing the math myself.

What is the MAX number of LEDs, that can be driven from the LM386 SR mod?  I only notice 2 in all the diagrams, but can it support up to 10 LEDs off of ONE LM386?

I dont think they go in multiples, and I only need 9, 10 at the most.  I have 19 all together that I need to get attached and working. (assuming they can all be run off of ONE LM386, that would be awsome)

They can run the amount you are planning.

I am getting lazy-brain, is the LM386's output (for LEDs) regulated base on the load requested?
