The is a versatile balanced modulator/demodulator used in RF and communications circuits for functions like suppressed carrier modulation and AM detection. While it is not always included in the default Proteus Design Suite libraries, you can integrate it by downloading third-party library files or creating a custom part. 1. Downloading & Importing the MC1496 Library The most efficient way to use the

• MC1496 (from your new lib)
• Signal sources: SINE (10mV, 1kHz = Modulating) & SINE (100mV, 100kHz = Carrier)
• Power supply: +12V and -8V (Typical for MC1496)
• Resistors: Biasing network (5.1kΩ for tail current, 1kΩ for outputs)
• Capacitors: 0.1µF for decoupling, 10µF for AC coupling inputs.

: Many custom symbols have 14 pins, but the internal spice model ( Proteus Mc1496 Lib

• MC1496 (from your new library)
• Two AC voltage sources (signal: 1 kHz, 100 mV; carrier: 100 kHz, 200 mV)
• DC sources: +12V and -8V (typical asymmetric biasing)
• Resistors: 3.9kΩ load resistors on outputs, 750Ω on emitter pins
• Capacitors: 0.1 µF for blocking DC

• For students & hobbyists: The Proteus MC1496 model is sufficient for AM/DSB-SC demodulation simulations below 1 MHz.
• For professional RF design (>10 MHz): Use dedicated RF simulators (ADS, Qucs) or import a verified SPICE model.
• Always verify pin assignment against the onsemi MC1496 datasheet before plotting outputs.
