Can anyone summarize the differences between the NE602 and the NE612 
Double-Bananced Mixer and Oscillator chips from Signetics.

I have the "Linear Data Manual  Volume I communications" from Signetics.

The documentation on these two chips seems almost identical.  
The specs are all identical (Wherever they give comparable specs for 
both chips.)

If I have a design that calls for the NE602, can I substitute the NE612?
(say in a simple direct conversion receiver.)


Thanks for helping to clear up the confusion.
