NJM1496V-TE1

Product Overview

NJM1496V-TE1 from Nisshinbo Micro Devices Inc. is a double-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: Nisshinbo Micro Devices Inc.
• Part Number: NJM1496V-TE1
• Device Type: double-balanced modulator / demodulator IC
• RF Function: Produces an output proportional to the product of signal and carrier inputs
• Typical Applications: Suppressed-carrier modulation, AM modulation, synchronous detection, FM/PM detection, broadband frequency doubling and chopping
• Carrier Suppression: 65 dB typical at 0.5 MHz and 50 dB typical at 10 MHz in NJM1496 datasheet conditions
• Gain / Signal Handling: Adjustable gain and signal-handling capability through external bias network
• Package / Case: manufacturer package/orderable suffix should be verified against the original BOM
• Supply / Bias: Dual-supply or externally biased balanced modulator application circuits
• Design Notes: Set external bias and carrier drive according to required suppression and linearity in the modulator/demodulator circuit.

Applications

Analog modulation, product detection, RF/IF demodulation, frequency doubling and legacy communication equipment.

Replacement builds where MC1496/NJM1496-compatible biasing, package and carrier suppression must remain consistent.

Quality & Sourcing

Antrex Electronics can support sourcing for NJM1496V-TE1 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.
