MC44BC373: Multi-Standard PAL/SECAM/NTSC with integrated booster splitter
MC44BC374: PAL/NTSC with integrated booster splitter
The channel is set by an on-chip high-speed I
the modula tor o v er th e full UHF range. The modulator incorporates a sound subcarrier oscillator and uses
a second PLL to derive 4.5, 5.5, 6.0, and 6.5MHz subcarrier frequencies. These frequencies are selected
using the bus.
The picture-to-sou nd ratio is adjus ted using the bu s. In addi tion, an on-chip v ideo test patter n generat or can
be switched ON using a 1kHz audio test signal.
Along with the modulator functions, an Antenna Booster/Splitter function is included.
These modulator versions are comple tely pin-to-pin and software compatible and all versions have the
following fe atures.
•No external varicaps diodes /inductors or tuned components

Figure 2 shows a simplified block diagram of the MC44BC373/4 device.
The MC44BC373/374 device contains four main sections:
Device Overview
1. A high-speed I
2. A PLL section — Synthesizes the UHF/VHF output channel frequency (from an integrat ed
UHF oscillator, divided for VHF output).
3. A modulator section — Accepts audio and video inputs and then uses those inputs to
modulate the UHF/VHF carrier.
4. An Antenna Booster/Splitter — Am plifies and splits the antenna signal into two signals:
a) The modulated signal is added to the amplified antenna signal on the TVOUT pin.

An on-chip video test pattern generator with an audio test signal is included.
The MC44BC373 operates as a multi-standard modulator and can handle the following systems using the
same external circuit components:
•B/G
•I
•D/K
•H
•L
•M/N
The high frequency BiCMOS technology permits integration of the following functions:
This device contains protection circuitry to
guard against damage due to high static
voltage or electric fields. However, precautions
must be taken to avoid applications of any
C
voltage higher than maximum rated voltages to
this high impedance circuit. For proper
C
operation, input and output voltages should be
constrained to the ranges indicated in the
C
Recommended Operating Conditions.
C
Maximum ratings are those values beyond which damage to the device may occur. For functional
operation, voltage should be restricted to the Recommended Operating Condition.
