Hi All,

I'm try to use LM380 to drive a load but encountered some problems. The 
circuit is a very standard one with a capacitor in the input and a capacitor 
in the output to block the dc,  I  used a function generator to apply a 
sinewave to the input, but found that the output would very easily get 
clipped (unless the input signal is very very low in amplitude). the maximum 
p-p amplitude of the output signal is 4 volts while my Vs is at 12V dc. I 
tried all frequencies from 20Hz to 1KHz, the result is the same. Is there 
any way I can get an output sinewave without clipping for higher than 4 volt 
p-p, preferablly close to the supply voltage (i.e. 12V)?

Thanks in advance!

John
