Features
1 Features
The MC44BS373CA is a multi-standard, PAL/SECAM/NTSC modulator.
The channel is set by an on-chip high-speed I
2
C-compatible bus receiver. A phase-locked loop (PLL) tunes
the modulator over the full UHF range.
The modulator incorporates a sound subcarrier oscillator and uses a second PLL to derive 4.5-, 5.5-, 6.0-,
and 6.5-MHz subcarrier frequencies. These frequencies are selectable by bus.
The modulation standard can be chosen using a control bit that selects between positive and negative
modulation.
The picture-to-sound ratio may be adjusted using the bus. In addition, an on-chip video test pattern generator
can be switched on with a 1-kHz audio test signal.
The MC44BS373CA also has the following features:

2 Comparing the MC44BS373CA to the MC44BC373/4C
Compared to the MC44BC373/4C devices, the MC44BS373CA has the following improvements:
•
•
Higher output level (82 versus 74.5 dBµV)
Higher video signal to noise (+3 dB)

Switch between two integrated VCOs controlled directly by frequency divider (at 700 MHz)
Lower RF second harmonic spurious but higher third harmonic spurious. In applications it is easier
to filter UHF third harmonics spurious than second harmonics, as these frequencies are always out
of the UHF band. Unfortunately, the second harmonic can fall back into the same UHF band (for
instance channel 21 second harmonic). For this reason, it is almost impossible to have a good
rejection of low UHF second harmonic with an external low-pass filter. This is why the design has
been optimized for maximum second harmonic rejection in spite of an increase in the third
harmonic level.

Figure 2. MC44BS373CA Simplified Block Diagram
The MC44BS373CA device has three main sections:
•
•
•
A high-speed I
2
C-compatible bus section
A PLL section to synthesize the UHF/VHF output channel frequency (from an integrated UHF
oscillator, divided for VHF output)
A modulator section, which accepts audio and video inputs, then uses them to modulate the
UHF/VHF carrier
An on-chip video test pattern generator with an audio test signal is included.
The MC44BS373CA operates as a multi-standard modulator and can handle the following systems using
the same external circuit components: B/G, I, D/K, L, M/N.
High-frequency BiCMOS technology allows integration of the UHF tank circuit and certain filtering
functions.
