1 Features
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 I2C 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 6.5MHz subcarrier frequencies. These frequencies are selected
using the bus.
The picture-to-sound ratio is adjusted using the bus. In addition, an on-chip video test pattern generator can
be switched ON using a 1kHz audio test signal.
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc...
Along with the modulator functions, an Antenna Booster/Splitter function is included.

Device Overview
2 Device Overview
Figure 2 shows a simplified block diagram of the MC44BC373/4 device.
The MC44BC373/374 device contains four main sections:
1. A high-speed I2C-compatible bus section.
2. A PLL section — Synthesizes the UHF/VHF output channel frequency (from an integrated
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 — Amplifies and splits the antenna signal into two signals:
a) The modulated signal is added to the amplified antenna signal on the TVOUT pin.
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc...

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
voltage higher than maximum rated voltages to
this high impedance circuit. For proper
operation, input and output voltages should be
constrained to the ranges indicated in the
Recommended Operating Conditions.
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc...
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.

Figure 8. Intermodulation (IMD) Measurement
Intermodulation (IMD) frequencies are all frequency combinations coming from the two input carriers F1
and F2: F2–F1, 2∗F1–F2, 2∗F2–F1 and F1+F2, fall in the 40MHz–900MHz range.
F1 and F2 input levels are set to 90dBuV at the input of the BALUN. F1 and F2 frequency generator levels
(50W internal load) take into account a 50 to 75Ohm load difference (1.8dB), plus losses in the 3dB
coupler and the 50 to 75Ohm transformer.
Intermodulation measurement is the difference (in dBc) between the F1 or F2 level at the Output (VCRTU
or TVOUT) and the frequency combinations level, for the following cases:
F1=50MHz and F2=60MHz
F1=100MHz and F2=110MHz
F1=200MHz and F2=210MHz
F1=300MHz and F2=310MHz
F1=400MHz and F2=410MHz
F1=500MHz and F2=510MHz
F1=600MHz and F2=610MHz
F1=700MHz and F2=710MHz
F1=800MHz and F2=810MHz
Intermodulation specification is the IMD measurement’s worst case.

12.2 Power Supply
The five device Vcc pins (13, 15, 16, 21, 23) must be applied at the same time to ensure all internal blocks
are correctly biased. All other pins must not be biased before Vcc is applied to the device. The printed
circuit board layout of the Vcc supplies must be designed to ensure maximum isolation of the I/P to O/P
and also between the two O/Ps.
12.3 Standby Mode
During standby mode, the modulator is switched to low power consumption; the sound oscillator, UHF
oscillator, video and sound modulator sections bias are internally turned OFF.
The I2C bus and booster sections remain active.
The modulator can be programmed in standby mode using a combination of three bits:
1. OSC=1
2. SO=1
3. ATT=1

— Video modulation polarity—Negative
— Video modulation depth—80% Typical (See Video Characteristics on page 10.)
— Sound modulation type—FM
•
SYSL = 1; enables L system
— Video modulation polarity—Positive
— Video modulation depth—90% Typical (See Video Characteristics on page 10.)
— Sound modulation type—AM
12.6 Transient Output Inhibit
To minimize the risk of interference to other channels while the UHF PLL is acquiring a lock on the
desired frequency, the Sound and Video modulators are turned OFF for each of the following two cases:
1. Power-ON from zero (i.e., all Vcc is switched from 0V to 5V).
2. UHF oscillator power-ON from OFF state (i.e., OSC bit is switched from 1 to 0)
MC44BC373/374 Technical Data
For More Information On This Product,

Modulator Operation
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.
There is a time-out of 263ms until the output is enabled. This allows the UHF PLL settle to its
programmed frequency. During the 263ms time-out, the sound PLL current source is set to 10µA typical,
to speed up the locking time. After the 263ms time-out, the current source is switched to 1µA.
CAUTION:
Use care when selecting loop filter components, to ensure the loop
transient does not exceed the specified delay.
For test purposes, it is possible to disable the 263ms delay using Test Mode1–State1.h.
12.7 Logic Output Port (LOP)
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc...
The LOP pin controls any logic function. The primary applications are to control an external attenuator or
an external switch between the antenna input and TV output. When an external switch is controlled, the
Booster function is not used.
The following figure shows a typical attenuator application with PIN diode. The LOP pin switches the
PIN attenuator depending on the signal strength of the Antenna Input, thereby reducing the risks of
Intermodulation in certain areas. The LOP may also be used as an OFF position bypass switch or for other
logic functions in the application.

Figure 9. Attenuator Application with PIN Diode
12.8 Video Section—Peak White Clip
The modulator requires the following:
•
A composite video input with “negative going” sync pulses
•
A nominal level of 1Vp-p
This signal is AC-coupled to the video input where the sync tip level is clamped. The video signal is then
passed to a Peak White Clip (PWC) circuit. The PWC circuit function sets to soft-clip the top of the video
waveform, if the “sync tip amplitude” to “peak white clip” goes too high. This method avoids carrier overmodulation by the video. Clipping can be disabled by software.
12.9 Sound Section
The multivibrator oscillator is fully integrated and does not require external components. An internal low
pass filter and matched structure provide a very low harmonics level.
The sound modulator system consists of an FM modulator incorporating the sound subcarrier oscillator,
and an AM modulator. The audio input signal is AC coupled into the amplifier which then drives the two
types of modulators.
The audio pre-emphasis circuit is a high-pass filter with an external capacitor and an internal resistor
(100kOhms). The recommended capacitor value (470pF) is for BG standard. (50µS time constant.)

Modulator Operation
The auxiliary audio input adds a sound subcarrier to the main carrier. The input can be a modulated
NICAM carrier or a second sound subcarrier for a stereo system. Pin 12 is directly connected to the sound
modulator input and the picture-to-sound ratio (P/S Ratio) depends on the auxiliary audio input level. (P/S
ratio is 20dB for 35mVrms typical.)
12.10 Test Pattern Generator
A simple test pattern is generated on the IC which can be switched in under bus control to permit a TV
receiver to easily tune in to the modulator output. The pattern consists of two white vertical bars on a black
background and a 976Hz audio test signal.

12.11 PLL Section
The reference divider is a fixed divide-by-128, resulting in a reference frequency of 31.25KHz with a
4.0MHz crystal. The 31.25KHz reference frequency is used for both UHF and Sound PLLs.
The prescaler is a fixed divide by 8 and is permanently engaged.
The programmable divider’s division ratio is controlled by the state of control bits N0 to N11. The divider
ratio N for a desired frequency F (in MHz) is provided by the following formulas:
F 128
N = --- × --------8
4
with:
N = 2048 × N11 + 1024 × N10 + …… + 4 × N2 + 2 × N1 + N0
12.12 UHF Oscillator—VHF Range
The UHF oscillator is fully integrated and does not require any external components. For low frequency
testing or VHF range operation (test mode 1, states 1.b to 1.c), the UHF oscillator can be internally divided
by 2, 4, 8, or 16.

13.5 I2C Write Mode Format and Bus Receiver
The bus receiver operates the I2C compatible data format. The chip address (I2C bus) is:
1 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 (ACK) = $CA (hex) in write mode
In write mode, each ninth data bit (bits 9, 18, 27, 36, and 45) is an acknowledge bit (ACK) during which
the MCU sends a logic 1 and the Modulator circuit answers on the data line by pulling it low. Besides the
chip address, the circuit needs two or four data bytes for operation. The following data byte sequences are
the permitted incoming information:
Example 1

With:
STA = Start condition
CA = Chip Address
FM = Frequency information, high order bits
FL = Frequency information, low order bits
C1 = Control information, high order bits
CO = Control information, low order bits
STO = Stop condition
After the chip address, two or four data bytes may be received.
•
If three (3) data bytes are received, the third one is ignored.
•
If five (5) or more data bytes are received, the fifth and following ones are ignored, and the last ACK
pulse is sent at the end of the fourth data byte.

High-Speed I2C Compatible Bus
The first and third data bytes contain a function bit which lets the IC distinguish between frequency
information and control information. If the function bit is a logic 1, the two following bytes contain control
information. The first data byte after the chip address may be byte CO or byte FM. The two bytes of
frequency information are preceded by a logic 0.
13.6 I2C Read Mode Format
The chip address (I2C) is:
1 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 (ACK) = $CB (hex) in read mode
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc...
The incoming information consists of the read mode chip address byte. The device then answers with an
ACK followed by one byte containing three bits of status information. No acknowledge is answered by the
modulator after this byte.
