Description: LM1596/LM1496 Balanced Modulator-Demodulator
General Description
The LM1596/LM1496 are doubled balanced modulator-demodulators
which produce an output voltage proportional to
the product of an input (signal) voltage and a switching (carrier)
signal. Typical applications include suppressed carrier
modulation, amplitude modulation, synchronous detection,
FM or PM detection, broadband frequency doubling and
chopping.
The LM1596 is specified for operation over the b55ßC to
a125ßC military temperature range. The LM1496 is specified
for operation over the 0ßC to a70ßC temperature range.
Features
- Excellent carrier suppression
65 dB typical at 0.5 MHz
50 dB typical at 10 MHz
- Adjustable gain and signal handling
- Fully balanced inputs and outputs
- Low offset and drift
- Wide frequency response up to 100 MHz


in SynthDIY it can be used to make RingModulators.
