LM1036N Audio Integrated Circuits

The LM1036N is a dual DC-controlled tone/volume control circuit from Texas Instruments, designed for audio applications. It's a 20-pin DIP package that offers a wide supply voltage range of 8V to 18V. This IC provides a high signal-to-noise ratio and excellent channel separation, making it suitable for use in audio equipment, automotive audio systems, portable electronic devices, home stereo systems, and televisions/monitors. The LM1036N features low external component count, internal output short-circuit protection, and thermal shutdown protection. The IC's soft mute function allows for gradual volume reduction when the device is turned off or muted, reducing any sudden noise or pops. This makes it an ideal choice for applications where audio quality and reliability are crucial.
