The LM3886 is a high-performance audio power amplifier capable of delivering 68W of continuous average power to a 4Ω load and 38W into 8Ω with 0.1% THD+N from 20Hz–20kHz.
The performance of the LM3886, utilizing its Self Peak Instantaneous Temperature (°Ke) (SPiKe) protection circuitry, puts it in a class above discrete and hybrid amplifiers by providing an inherently, dynamically protected Safe Operating Area (SOA).
SPiKe protection means that these parts are completely safeguarded at the output against over-voltage, under-voltage, over-loads, including shorts to the supplies, thermal runaway, and instantaneous temperature peaks. The IC pinout is shown in Figure 2 below.

The LM3886 maintains an excellent signal-to-noise ratio of greater than 92dB with a typical low noise floor of 2.0μV. It exhibits extremely low THD+N values of 0.03% at the rated output into the rated load over the audio spectrum, and provides exceptional linearity with an IMD (SMPTE) typical rating of 0.004%.

The Power Supply
The power supply is Symmetrical, for those who will use a 4Ω Loudspeaker, the 2x 20Vac transformer is recommended, because when rectified, it is around 28Vdc.
And for those who will use it at 8Ω, it is recommended the 2x 25Vac transformer, which when rectified, is 35Vdc on average.
The recommended transformer power is about 120W, this means that the transformer current is on average 3.5 Amperes, for mono, if it's stereo, do the duplication, that is, 8 Amperes.
A good size heat radiator is necessary, since the IC LM3886 works in class AB, there is a great loss in heat at full power, and the recommended filter capacitors is 2 x 10.000uF/50V
The output inductance is formed by 15 turns of enameled wire, with a diameter of approximately 0.5mm, wound around the resistor R8 of 10Ω 1W. The complete schematic diagram is shown in Figure 3 below.
