I want to amplify the signal's current and feed it into a speaker. Right now using only a single PN2222A i can hear the sound but the volume is quite low. I tried a LM386 and the output is what i really want but only if i select the 200x gain schematics. I don't know what should i try now, i really want to use only simple components and not a dedicated amplifyer like LM386. Thank you very much in advance Dumitru Stama ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist What PWM frequency?
