GENERAL OPERATING INFORMATION
Carrier Feedthrough
Note that in the test circuit of Figure 10, VS corresponds to
a maximum value of 1.0 V peak.
Carrier feedthrough is defined as the output voltage at
carrier frequency with only the carrier applied
(signal voltage = 0).
Carrier null is achieved by balancing the currents in the
differential amplifier by means of a bias trim potentiometer
(R1 of Figure 5).
Common Mode Swing
The common−mode swing is the voltage which may be
applied to both bases of the signal differential amplifier,
without saturating the current sources or without saturating
the differential amplifier itself by swinging it into the upper
switching devices. This swing is variable depending on the
particular circuit and biasing conditions chosen.
Carrier Suppression
Carrier suppression is defined as the ratio of each
sideband output to carrier output for the carrier and signal
voltage levels specified.
Carrier suppression is very dependent on carrier input
level, as shown in Figure 22. A low value of the carrier does
not fully switch the upper switching devices, and results in
lower signal gain, hence lower carrier suppression. A higher
than optimum carrier level results in unnecessary device and
circuit carrier feedthrough, which again degenerates the
suppression figure. The MC1496 has been characterized
with a 60 mVrms sinewave carrier input signal. This level
provides optimum carrier suppression at carrier frequencies
in the vicinity of 500 kHz, and is generally recommended for
balanced modulator applications.
Carrier feedthrough is independent of signal level, VS.
Thus carrier suppression can be maximized by operating
with large signal levels. However, a linear operating mode
must be maintained in the signal−input transistor pair − or
harmonics of the modulating signal will be generated and
appear in the device output as spurious sidebands of the
suppressed carrier. This requirement places an upper limit
on input−signal amplitude (see Figure 20). Note also that an
optimum carrier level is recommended in Figure 22 for good
carrier suppression and minimum spurious sideband
generation.
At higher frequencies circuit layout is very important in
order to minimize carrier feedthrough. Shielding may be
necessary in order to prevent capacitive coupling between
the carrier input leads and the output leads.
Power Dissipation
Power dissipation, PD, within the integrated circuit
package should be calculated as the summation of the
voltage−current products at each port, i.e. assuming
V12 = V6, I5 = I6 = I12 and ignoring base current,
PD = 2 I5 (V6 − V14) + I5)V5 − V14 where subscripts refer
to pin numbers.
Design Equations
The following is a partial list of design equations needed
to operate the circuit with other supply voltages and input
conditions.
A. Operating Current
The internal bias currents are set by the conditions at Pin 5.
Assume:
I5 = I6 = I12,
IBtt IC for all transistors
then :
R5+
The MC1496 has been characterized for the condition
I5 = 1.0 mA and is the generally recommended value.
B. Common−Mode Quiescent Output Voltage
V6 = V12 = V+ − I5 RL
Biasing
Signal Gain and Maximum Input Level
The MC1496 requires three dc bias voltage levels which
must be set externally. Guidelines for setting up these three
levels include maintaining at least 2.0 V collector−base bias
on all transistors while not exceeding the voltages given in
the absolute maximum rating table;
30 Vdc w [(V6, V12) − (V8, V10)] w 2 Vdc
30 Vdc w [(V8, V10) − (V1, V4)] w 2.7 Vdc
30 Vdc w [(V1, V4) − (V5)] w 2.7 Vdc
The foregoing conditions are based on the following
approximations:

S
A constant dc potential is applied to the carrier input
terminals to fully switch two of the upper transistors “on”
and two transistors “off” (VC = 0.5 Vdc). This in effect
forms a cascode differential amplifier.
Linear operation requires that the signal input be below a
critical value determined by RE and the bias current I5.

Negative Supply
Bias currents flowing into Pins 1, 4, 8 and 10 are transistor
base currents and can normally be neglected if external bias
dividers are designed to carry 1.0 mA or more.
VEE should be dc only. The insertion of an RF choke in
series with VEE can enhance the stability of the internal
current sources.
Transadmittance Bandwidth
Signal Port Stability
Carrier transadmittance bandwidth is the 3.0 dB bandwidth
of the device forward transadmittance as defined by:
i o (each sideband)
v s (signal)
21C+
Under certain values of driving source impedance,
oscillation may occur. In this event, an RC suppression
network should be connected directly to each input using
short leads. This will reduce the Q of the source−tuned
circuits that cause the oscillation.

Coupling and Bypass Capacitors
Capacitors C1 and C2 (Figure 5) should be selected for a
reactance of less than 5.0 at the carrier frequency.
An alternate method for low−frequency applications is to
insert a 1.0 k resistor in series with the input (Pins 1, 4). In
this case input current drift may cause serious degradation
of carrier suppression.
Output Signal
The output signal is taken from Pins 6 and 12 either
balanced or single−ended. Figure 11 shows the output levels
of each of the two output sidebands resulting from variations
in both the carrier and modulating signal inputs with a
single−ended output connection.

Low−level Modulating Signal, VM, assumed in all cases. VC is Carrier Input Voltage.
When the output signal contains multiple frequencies, the gain expression given is for the output amplitude ofeach of the two desired outputs,
fC + fM and fC − fM.
All gain expressions are for a single−ended output. For a differential output connection, multiply each expression by two.

The gain from the modulating signal input port to the
output is the MC1496 gain parameter which is most often of
interest to the designer. This gain has significance only when
the lower differential amplifier is operated in a linear mode,
but this includes most applications of the device.
As previously mentioned, the upper quad differential
amplifier may be operated either in a linear or a saturated
mode. Approximate gain expressions have been developed
for the MC1496 for a low−level modulating signal input and
the following carrier input conditions:
1) Low−level dc
2) High−level dc
3) Low−level ac
4) High−level ac
All that is required to shift from suppressed carrier to AM
operation is to adjust the carrier null potentiometer for the
proper amount of carrier insertion in the output signal.
However, the suppressed carrier null circuitry as shown in
Figure 26 does not have sufficient adjustment range.
Therefore, the modulator may be modified for AM
operation by changing two resistor values in the null circuit
as shown in Figure 27.
Product Detector
The MC1496 makes an excellent SSB product detector
(see Figure 28).
This product detector has a sensitivity of 3.0 V and a
dynamic range of 90 dB when operating at an intermediate
frequency of 9.0 MHz.
The detector is broadband for the entire high frequency
range. For operation at very low intermediate frequencies
down to 50 kHz the 0.1 F capacitors on Pins 8 and 10 should
be increased to 1.0 F. Also, the output filter at Pin 12 can
be tailored to a specific intermediate frequency and audio
amplifier input impedance.
As in all applications of the MC1496, the emitter
resistance between Pins 2 and 3 may be increased or
decreased to adjust circuit gain, sensitivity, and dynamic
range.
This circuit may also be used as an AM detector by
introducing carrier signal at the carrier input and an AM
signal at the SSB input.
The carrier signal may be derived from the intermediate
frequency signal or generated locally. The carrier signal may
These gains are summarized in Table 1, along with the
frequency components contained in the output signal.
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Double sideband suppressed carrier modulation is the
basic application of the MC1496. The suggested circuit for
this application is shown on the front page of this data sheet.
In some applications, it may be necessary to operate the
MC1496 with a single dc supply voltage instead of dual
supplies. Figure 25 shows a balanced modulator designed
for operation with a single 12 Vdc supply. Performance of
this circuit is similar to that of the dual supply modulator.
AM Modulator
The circuit shown in Figure 26 may be used as an
amplitude modulator with a minor modification.

be introduced with or without modulation, provided its level
is sufficiently high to saturate the upper quad differential
amplifier. If the carrier signal is modulated, a 300 mVrms
input level is recommended.
Figures 30 and 31 show a broadband frequency doubler
and a tuned output very high frequency (VHF) doubler,
respectively.
Phase Detection and FM Detection
The MC1496 will function as a phase detector. High−level
input signals are introduced at both inputs. When both inputs
are at the same frequency the MC1496 will deliver an output
which is a function of the phase difference between the two
input signals.
An FM detector may be constructed by using the phase
detector principle. A tuned circuit is added at one of the
inputs to cause the two input signals to vary in phase as a
function of frequency. The MC1496 will then provide an
output which is a function of the input signal frequency.
Doubly Balanced Mixer
The MC1496 may be used as a doubly balanced mixer
with either broadband or tuned narrow band input and output
networks.
The local oscillator signal is introduced at the carrier input
port with a recommended amplitude of 100 mVrms.
Figure 29 shows a mixer with a broadband input and a
tuned output.
Frequency Doubler
The MC1496 will operate as a frequency doubler by
introducing the same frequency at both input ports.
