MC1496DR2G

Overview

The MC1496DR2G is a balanced modulator and demodulator integrated circuit manufactured by onsemi. It operates within a frequency range of 80 MHz to 300 MHz and functions with a maximum supply voltage of 12 V. The device draws a typical operating supply current of 5 mA and dissipates up to 33 mW of power. It is housed in a 14-pin SOIC surface-mount package and supports an ambient operating temperature range from 0°C to +70°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides balanced modulation and demodulation capabilities for RF applications
• Supports carrier suppression and amplified modulation functions
• Capable of synchronous detection and FM detection operations

Applications

• Carrier suppression circuits
• Amplified modulation systems
• Synchronous detection setups
• Frequency modulation (FM) detection

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix DR2G to confirm tape-and-reel packaging and RoHS compliance status. Confirm the active manufacturing status, as related variants like MC1496D may be obsolete. Ensure the 14-SOIC footprint matches the target PCB design before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring balanced modulation or demodulation within the 80-300 MHz range. Consider the 12 V maximum supply limit and 5 mA current draw for power budgeting. The SOIC-14 package is suitable for surface-mount assembly processes.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MC1496 series of RF modulators and demodulators. It utilizes silicon technology and is categorized under wireless and RF integrated circuits. The device is designed for general-purpose communication applications requiring precise signal mixing and detection.

Replacement Considerations

The MC1496D is a related variant but is listed as obsolete and lacks RoHS compliance. Verify pin compatibility and electrical specifications when considering alternative balanced modulator ICs from other manufacturers.
