AMLA150 Loop Antenna help identify

[daniel444]

i bought this AMLA150 Active Magnetic Loop Antenna kit
i need help to identify the ic chip it uses as they have sanded the label off
i want to buy a replacement chip
the bottom of the chip has 592 written on it
it might use the same  chip as the  MLA-30 antenna

thanks
Daniel

Most likely to be an Si5351A.

That sure sounds like NE592.
The pinout also seems to match.
Here's a datasheet https://www.onsemi.com/pdf/datasheet/ne592-d.pdf

Most likely to be an Si5351A.

What on earth would a synthesizer do in a receiving antenna amplifier board?

thanks mate, im not sure why they sanded the label off the chip , but it has annoyed me

An equivalent to the NE592 is the National Semi LM733 if available.

Pretty much all of these cheap loop antenna kits use the NE592 or equivalent.

Sorry... my research has failed me
