Proteus: Mc1496 Lib [better]
Connect a lower-frequency sine wave (e.g., 1 kHz, 200 mV peak) to the signal inputs (Pins 1 and 4). Pin 4 is bypassed to ground with a capacitor.
Select the tool from the virtual instruments toolbar on the left.
If all else fails, remember that creating a custom SUBCKT model from the official onsemi datasheet is the nuclear option—complex, but foolproof.
Connect in Proteus:
Download the MC1496 library files and extract the .lib and .idx files. Proteus Mc1496 Lib
Close Proteus before proceeding. Move the downloaded files into your Proteus installation directory. The exact path depends on your software version:
The MC1496 is an analog multiplier. For a successful simulation: Power Supply:
Gain can be controlled by modifying the emitter degeneration resistor.
The Mc1496 is a type of balanced modulator chip used in various electronic applications, including telecommunications and signal processing. Connect a lower-frequency sine wave (e

Finding a valid model can be the most difficult part of the process. The MC1496 is an older component, and models are often scattered across user forums. One of the most reliable sources is the user community, which maintains files like mc1496x.mod for the IC. For example, a forum user noted that the ".mod file contains the inner circuit of the MC1496... a lot of transistors and resistors," which is exactly what Proteus needs to simulate the part.
