You're building a small speaker driver or a compact audio stage and you need real output without a heatsink the size of your hand. The LM380 delivers 2.5 W of audio power in a 14-pin package. Enough to drive a small speaker with headroom, simple enough to wire up in an afternoon. Solder it, feed it a signal, and hear the difference
