NTE746
Integrated Circuit
TV Video IF Amplifier

Replacement for the MC1350

Description:

The NTE746 is a monolithic integrated circuit in an 8-Lead DIP type package with wide-range AGC for replacement of 1st and 2nd IF stages in solid-state color and black and white TV sets. It will directly drive a 3rd IF stage.

  • Center Frequency: FO = 45MHz
  • Bandwidth: BW = 6MHz
  • Power Gain: 50dB Min
  • AGC range: 60dB Min
  • LOw Reverse-Transfer Admittance: 1µmho Typ
  • Y21 Constant to 75MHz
  • 12V Operation, Single-Polarity Power Supply
  • Total Supply Current: 20mA Typ
  • Nearly Constant Input and Output Admittance over the Entire AGC Range
