TDA1596T/V3,518

Product Overview

TDA1596T/V3,518 from NXP USA Inc. is a FM IF amplifier and 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.
