Hi All,

Is the AM radio receiver IC MK484 (aka AN414) still in production?

Are there any other alternatives?

You'd have to ask the manufacturer but I doubt they still make them:

http://www.rectron.com/

I don't know this store but it's in stock, you'd have to ask how many
they have:

Slim pickens. There are much larger chips like the TEA5711 one but even
that's hard to find. The Sony CXA1600 is probably gone as well. I
believe there just isn't any serious market for this stuff.

Thanks I have been thinking about the SiLabs parts. These require a
micro to drive to drive them.

The SiLab's parts are about 2.96 USD + Micro where as the MK484is
less than a dollar (I think)

Where as the MK484 requires only s tuned circuit to select the
frequency.

I'm trying work out a way to use a MK484 on a set frequency with
minimal drift across operating temp.
