Detailed Description for MC1496P1
Product Overview
MC1496P1 from onsemi is a balanced modulator / demodulator IC used in RF, microwave or wireless front-end designs. This product detail focuses on practical RF function, operating range, control/interface requirements and sourcing relevance for engineering and procurement teams.
The exact suffix should be matched against the original BOM because RF behavior can depend on package, die or reel option, control logic, bias network and qualified operating conditions.
Key Features
- Manufacturer: onsemi
- Part Number: MC1496P1
- Device Type: balanced modulator / demodulator IC
- RF Function: Monolithic balanced modulator/demodulator where output is the product of signal and carrier inputs
- Typical Applications: Suppressed-carrier modulation, AM generation, synchronous detection, FM/PM detection and frequency doubling
- Carrier Suppression: Circuit- and bias-dependent carrier suppression; datasheet application circuits define measurement conditions
- Operating Frequency: Suitable for communications IF/RF modulation circuits; distributor data commonly lists 300 MHz class for MC1496B variants
- Package / Case: manufacturer package/orderable suffix should be verified against the original BOM
- Supply / Bias: External resistor bias network sets gain, linearity and carrier suppression
- Design Notes: Keep external bias resistors and carrier drive consistent with the original modulator/demodulator circuit.
Applications
Analog communication equipment, RF/IF product detectors, AM modulators and frequency doublers.
Replacement sourcing for MC1496-compatible modulation/detection designs where bias and package must match.
Quality & Sourcing
Antrex Electronics can support sourcing for MC1496P1 through available stock checks, BOM consolidation and alternative-lot review. For RF and microwave parts, package marking, date code, MSL handling and original-label condition should be checked before shipment.
For project builds, repair support or shortage coverage, Antrex Electronics can coordinate visual inspection, package verification and third-party testing when required. This helps buyers manage risk when sourcing discontinued, legacy or hard-to-find RF ICs and modules.
