NJM4560 is a dual audio operational amplifier IC having a high gain and wide bandwidth. An audio amplifier is just like other operational amplifiers, but it amplifies low-power audio signals to drive speakers, headphones or other audio devices. NJM4560 chip can drive 20V peak-to-peak into 400Ω loads.

Where to use it?
Its wider bandwidth and higher slew rate make this device suitable for use in a wide variety of audio amplification related applications, instrumentation applications and in telecommunication. Due to its feature of dual supply operation, these op-amps also works well with AC signals. NJM4560 is also available in the surface mounted micro-package. Hence, you can also use this chip in critical applications where high packing densities are required. This IC is also used in distortion circuits due to their high voltage gain and an input impedance of 5MΩ.
How to use NJM4560 Op-Amp?
The most basic function of NJM4560 IC is the amplification of audio signals. A configuration of a simple single supply non-inverting amplifier is given in the figure below. An input signal from a microphone or any other device is applied at the positive pin of an amplifier. The output is fed back to the input through resistors R1 and R2. These two resistors are basically used to determine the gain of an operational amplifier. The resistors R3 and R4 are used to set the bias voltage. The capacitors C1 and C2 are used to pass the lowest frequencies without attenuation.
Example Circuit
In a single supply op-amp, the input signal can only swing from the positive voltage supply to the ground. But, in the case of dual supply op-amp, it can swing from the positive voltage supply to the negative voltage supply. That’s this IC also works well for AC signals and allow the allow signals to swing a greater distance by covering both positive and negative portions of the AC signal.
For singly supply operation, connect pin 4 to ground of the circuit and for dual supply, supply this pin with negative supply voltage.
