LM380N/NOPB IS GOING EOL ON 7/22/16 I WANT TO USE LM384N/NOPB, BUT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE 12V MIN RAIL VOLTAGE

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LM380, LM384

THE LM380 HAS A RATED RAIL OF 10VDC TO 22VDC, WHILE THE LM384 HAS A RATED RAIL OF 12VDC TO 26VDC

WE HAVE A 12V, 3T REGULATOR FEEDING THIS AMPLIFIER.  AT ~1W-2W POWER OUTPUT, DOES THE LM384 GO UNSTABLE, OR DOES IT ACT JUST LIKE THE LM380N?  IF IT ACTS JUST LIKE THE LM380, WE SHOULD BE OK.

FROM THE DATASHEET, THE INTERNAL SCHEMATIC FOR BOTH LM380 & LM384 LOOKS THE SAME!
