The MC1496 is a monolithic balanced modulator and mixer designed for applications such as suppressed carrier, amplitude modulation, phase detection, and frequency doubling. It features excellent carrier suppression of up to 65 dB at 0.5 MHz and high common-mode rejection of -85 dB. The device contains eight active transistors and supports adjustable gain and signal handling with balanced inputs and outputs. Its high linearity and low feedthrough make it suitable for RF and communication systems operating up to 10 MHz, with a Pb-free package option available.
