CA3054MZ96

Overview

The CA3054MZ96 is a monolithic integrated circuit containing two independent differential amplifiers with associated constant current transistors. It operates from DC to 120MHz and features low 1/f noise with an fT exceeding 300MHz. The device utilizes six general-purpose NPN transistors on a common substrate, providing close electrical and thermal matching for dual-channel applications. Bias and load resistors are omitted to maximize application flexibility.

Feature Summary

• Monolithic construction ensures close electrical and thermal matching between the two independent differential amplifier channels.
• Low 1/f noise characteristics combined with high transition frequency support operation across a wide bandwidth range.
• Omission of internal bias and load resistors provides maximum flexibility for custom circuit design.

Applications

• Dual Sense Amplifiers
• IF Amplifiers (Differential and/or Cascode)
• Synchronous Detectors
• Synthesizer Mixers

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix corresponds to the required tape and reel packaging configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status and Pb-free anneal material specifications match project requirements. Ensure electrostatic discharge handling procedures are followed during assembly due to component sensitivity.

Selection Notes

Select this component when matched performance between two independent channels is critical. The absence of fixed internal resistors allows designers to tailor gain and biasing precisely. Verify that the operating temperature range meets environmental constraints and that the package type supports the intended mounting method.

Part Context

This part belongs to the CA3054 family of dual independent differential amplifiers. Variants include standard SOIC packages and tape-and-reel configurations. The MZ96 designation specifically indicates a Pb-free version supplied in tape and reel format, maintaining compatibility with standard surface-mount assembly processes.

FAQ

What is the function of Terminal 10?

Terminal 10 is not used and should be left unconnected.

How must the substrate terminal be handled?

The substrate must be connected to a voltage more negative than any collector voltage to maintain isolation and normal transistor action.
