Product Overview
Motorola MC1552G delivers wideband video amplification in a hermetic 10-lead TO-100 metal can package (Motorola Case 603). Designed for high-frequency signal processing and linear instrumentation, the circuit utilizes a three-stage direct-coupled common-emitter cascade with series-series feedback. Rated for operation across the full military temperature range of -55°C to +125°C, this device provides stable 34 dB nominal voltage gain across frequencies up to 40 MHz.
Key Features
- 34 dB nominal voltage gain with tight ±1.0 dB flatness
- Wideband frequency response extending up to 40 MHz
- Operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C
- Hermetic 10-lead metal can package (TO-100 / Motorola Case 603)
- Straight gold-plated terminal leads
- Three-stage cascade internal design with series feedback
Applications
- Bench restoration of vintage communications receivers, radar IF strips, and video test instruments
- Pulse amplifier and broadband preamplifier stages in legacy laboratory hardware
- RF and analog experiments by builders needing stable, high-gain wideband amplification in classic metal-can hardware
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the operating temperature range of the MC1552G?
The MC1552G is rated for extended operation across -55°C to +125°C, making it suitable for military, aerospace, and harsh-environment instrumentation.
What package outline does this component use?
This component is built in a 10-lead hermetic metal can (TO-100 / Motorola Case 603) with circular pin spacing and gold-plated leads.
How many amplifier channels are inside the MC1552G?
The MC1552G houses a single wideband amplifier circuit across the 10 leads, providing dedicated connections for supply, ground, input, output, and feedback networks.
Gold leads and hermetic metal from the days when Motorola built high-frequency silicon right in Phoenix. When a restoration bench calls for an authentic wideband stage, nothing replaces the real metal can.
