Re: Problems with MiniMod
Just to bring you all up to date.
I have received a new batch of LM386 with the suffix N from a different supplier. I replaced the LM386L with these new IC's and what should I say, everything is working as it should with no 330R resistor in series with the supply. Incidentally, the resistor was also required when powering the MiniMod from a PP3.
So either the LM386L came from a dodgy batch or the LM386L has different characteristics to the LM386N. Although I am led to believe that the only difference is that the LM386L is RoHS conform. Maybe somebody could put me right on this.
I hope this information might be of use to someone building the MinMod, which I must say is a great design and thanks go to its designer.
All I have to do now is sort out the modulation hum.
