Miniature servo drive
A miniature servo motor may require a voltage of 5V or less and current of 200mA. An audio amplifier is ideally suitable to drive this type of motors. It normally uses a bridge tied load (BTL) configuration, which makes H-bridge unnecessary. It is capably of 1-2W into 4 or 8 Ohm speaker, so it can source and sink the required motor current and the bandwidth is more than adequate for a servo drive. The National LM4866 2.2W stereo audio amplifier in the small TSSOP-20 package can drive two small motors. It is likely to result in lower components and smaller footprint than other solutions.
