The MC44CC373 / MC44CC374 CMOS family of RF modulators is the latest
generation of the legacy MC44BS373/4 family of devices.
The MC44CC373/MC44CC374 RF modulators are designed for use in VCRs,
set-top boxes, and similar devices.They support multiple standards, and can be
programmed to support PAL, SECAM, or NTSC formats.
The devices are programmed by a high-speed I2C Bus.
A programmable, internal PLL, with on-chip LC tank covers the full UHF range.
The modulators incorporate a programmable, on-chip, sound subcarrier oscillator that covers all broadcast standards. No external tank circuit components
are required, reducing PCB complexity and the need for external adjustments.
The PLL obtains its reference from a low cost 4 MHz crystal oscillator.
The devices are available in a 16-pin SOIC, Pb-free package. These parts are
functionally equivalent to the MC44BS373/4 series, but are not direct drop-in replacements.
All devices now include the AUXIN found previously only on the 20-pin package option of the MC44BS373. This is a direct input for a modulated subcarrier
and is useful in BTSC or NICAM stereo sound or other subcarrier applications.
The MC44CC373CASEF has a secondary I2C address for applications using
two modulators on one I2C Bus.

POWER ON RESET
A power-on reset circuit holds the digital portion in reset
until the power supply has stabilized. Additionally a delay of
approximately 2 seconds allows the crystal oscillator to stabilize before the digital section begins normal operation.
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 during a time
out period in two cases: Power On and UHF oscillator power
On (OSC bit switched from OFF to normal operation). There
is a time out of 262 ms until the output is enabled. This lets
the UHF PLL settle to its programmed frequency.
STANDBY MODES
During standby mode, the modulator is switched to low
power consumption. The sound oscillator, UHF oscillator, and
the video and sound modulator section’s bias are internally
turned OFF. The I2C bus section remains active.
The standby mode is set with a combination of 3 bits:
OSC=1, SO=1 and ATT=1 for MC44CC373/374CAxxx
OSC=0, SO=1 and ATT=1 for MC44CC374T1Axx
Programming of the Frequency Registers or the Optional
Control Registers is not allowed in Standby Mode.
SYSTEM L OR B/G SELECTION
The SYSL enable control bit internally switches the following functions:
• SYSL = 0 enables B/G system
— Video modulation polarity: Negative
— Sound modulation: FM
•
SYSL = 1 enables L system
CRYSTAL REFERENCE OSCILLATOR
The reference crystal frequency is 4.0 MHz, the same as
for the legacy modulators.
The reference crystal oscillator if followed by a fixed divide-by-128, resulting in a reference frequency of 31.25 kHz
for the phase detector.
UHF PLL SECTION
The UHF VCO runs at twice the desired RF frequency and
is divided by 2 before it is sent to the divide-by-8 prescaler
and then the programmable divider.
The programmable divider division-ratio is controlled by
the state of control bits N0 to N11 and is the binary number
for the number of 250 kHz steps in the desired RFOUT frequency. The divider-ratio N for a desired frequency F (in
MHz) is given by:
( 2 × F ) 128
N = ------------------ × ---------16
4
with:
N = 2048 × N11 + 1024 × N10 + …… + 4 × N2 + 2 × N1 + N0
NOTE:
Programming a division-ratio N = 0 is not allowed.
Programming of the N value must be performed while
the modulator is in normal mode, not standby mode.

UHF OSCILLATOR-VHF RANGE
For VHF range operation, the UHF oscillator can be internally divided by: 2, 4, 8, or 16. This is accomplished via the
special test mode bits, X2:X0.
NOTE:
The MC44CC373/374 modulators are intended for
UHF operation. Using the digital dividers for VHF
operation will cause additional spurious content in the
RFOUT. Performance specifications for VHF operation
are not provided. The user must provide external
filtering on RFOUT to meet their VHF spurious
requirements.
SOUND SECTION
The sound oscillator is fully integrated and does not require any external components. An internal low-pass filter
and matched structure provide very low harmonics levels.
The sound modulator system consists of an FM modulator
incorporating the sound subcarrier oscillator. An AM modulator is also included in the MC44CC373/374xxxx devices and
is enabled by the SYSL control bit for use in system L applications. The audio input signal is AC-coupled into the amplifier, which then drives the modulators.
The sound reference divider is programmed by control bit
SRF, resulting in a reference frequency of 31.25 kHz or
62.5 kHz. The sound subcarrier frequency is selected by control bits SFD1:SFD0. The subcarrier frequencies are 4.5, 5.5,
6.0 or 6.5 MHz. The power-up default value is 5.5 MHz.
A capacitor is connected to the external pin, PREEM, to
set the pre-emphasis time constant for the application. Information on the selection of this filter may be found later in this
document under applications information.
LOGIC OUTPUT PORT (LOP)
The LOP pin controls any logic function. The primary applications for the LOP are to control an external attenuator or
an external switch, between the antenna input and TV output.
A typical attenuator application with PIN diode is shown in
Figure 3. The LOP pin switches the PIN attenuator depending on the signal strength of the Antenna Input. This reduces
the risks of intermodulation in certain areas. The LOP can
also be used as an OFF position bypass switch or for other
logic functions in the application.
Vcc
Antenna
Input
VIDEO SECTION - PEAK WHITE CLIP
The modulators require the following for proper video functionality:
• A composite video input with negative going sync
pulses
• A nominal video level of < 1.14 V
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 soft-clips the top of
the video waveform, if the sync tip amplitude to peak white
clip goes too high. This avoids carrier over-modulation by the
video.
The Peak White Clip level may be set via the Option Control Register 2, bits PW1:PW0. Clipping can be disabled by
software via bit PWC in the Control register.
TEST PATTERN GENERATOR
The modulators have a simple test pattern generator, that
may be enabled under I2C bus control, to permit a TV receiver to easily tune to the modulator output. The pattern consists
of two white vertical bars on a black background and a 1 kHz
audio test signal.
The video test pattern consists of two signals generated by
the Digital section. One controls the sync pulse circuitry, and
the other controls the luminance circuitry. These signals are
logic levels that drive the video circuitry which creates a composite signal with the proper levels for sync pulses and luminance as shown in Figure 4.

HIGH SPEED I2C CONTROL INTERFACE OPERATION
The modulator chip’s digital control interface is compatible
with the I2C bus standard. The two pins used for the I2C bus
are the clock (SCL) and data (SDA). The data pin is bidirectional.
The I2C interface lines are 5 Volt tolerant. Therefore, they
can be pulled up to 5 Volts, if required, to interface with the
microprocessor in a given application.
NOTE:
If the MC44CC373/4 modulator is powered down, it
will load the I2C bus by means of leakage current
passing through the stacked ESD protection diodes
on the SCL and SDA pins.
The input control data stream is clocked in on the rising
edge of SCL, with the most significant bit, MSB, first. The seven-bit IC Address and R/W bit are in the first byte sent. This
allows the IC to determine if it is the device that is being communicated with. After that, an even number of control data
bytes, 8-bits each, sent to configure the IC. The data stored
in the input control register is loaded into the appropriate device registers during the acknowledge, ACK, bit time.
The Master controls the clock line, whether writing to the
part or reading from it. After each byte that is sent, the device
that receives it, sends an acknowledge bit back to the master.
After the last data byte and ACK, the master sends a Stop
Condition to terminate the write cycle.
Status data can be read back from the modulator chip. The
output status data is clocked out on the falling edge of SCL
and is valid on the rising edge, with the MSB first.
IC Device Address
Since the I2C bus is a two-wire bus that does not have a
separate chip-select line, each IC on the bus has a unique
address. This address must be sent each time an IC is communicated with. The address is the first seven bits that are
sent to the IC as shown in Table 9. The eighth bit sent is the
R/W bit, it determines whether the master will read from or
write to the IC.

I2C Write Mode Format
In the write mode, each ninth data bit is an acknowledge
bit (ACK) as shown in Figure 5. During this time, the Master
lets go of the bus, the external pull-up resistor pulls the signal
high and sends a logic 1 and the Modulator circuit (slave) answers on the data line by pulling it low.
Besides the first byte with the chip address, the circuit
needs two or more data bytes for operation.
The programming of the MC44CC37xxxxx devices is similar to the legacy devices. That is, they may be programmed
with either two or four data bytes, after the chip address.
Table 11 shows the permitted data bytes, and the order in
which they can be sent, to program the MC44CC373/374 devices. Examples 1 and 2 are the same as the legacy modulators.
The control data bytes all contain an address function bit
(the MSB) which lets the IC distinguish between the frequency information and control information. If the address function
bit is a logic 1, the following bytes contain control information.
The frequency information has the address function bit that is
set to a logic 0. This allows the frequency or the control information to be sent first as shown inn Examples 3,and 4.
The MC44BS373/4 legacy family of RF modulators required only two words of data (four bytes) for full configuration. The new CMOS devices have two additional (optional)
control words that can be used to access some new features.
These features include changing the output power, using a
different frequency crystal, and adjusting the peak white clip
levels. These new Option Control words do not need to be
sent unless access to these new features is desired. The default values for these functions will allow the device to work
the same way as the MC44BS373/4 devices did.
Example 5 shows how the new Option Control words are
to be sent. OC1 follows the Control word and OC2 follows
OC1.
Example 6 shows the Frequency word being sent first followed by the Control bytes.

The following rules apply for the sequences of data bytes
for incoming (write) information:
• If an odd number of data bytes are received, the last
one is ignored.
• If nine data bytes are received, the ninth and following
ones are ignored, and the last ACK pulse is sent at the
end of the eighth data byte.
• The optional control register one, most significant and
least significant bytes, OC1M, OC1L, data must
•
•
always be sent after the C1,C0 control data without a
stop condition in between.
The optional control register two, most significant and
least significant bytes, OC2M, OC2L, data must be
sent directly after the OC1M, OC1L data without a
stop condition in between.
The Control and Frequency information may be sent
as separate I2C write sequences. (Example 1 or
Example 5 followed/preceeded by Example 2).

I2C Read Mode Format
To read back the status data, the read address shown in
Table 10 is sent by the master. The modulator then responds
with an ACK followed by a byte containing status information
on the RF oscillator out-of-frequency range.

CONTROL AND DATA REGISTER - DEFINITIONS
The legacy MC44BS373/4 modulators had two 16-bit control registers (Control and Frequency) and one data/status
register. The new MC44CC373/374 family has the same register configuration and may be programmed with the same
program software as the legacy devices. This backward compatibility allows a faster migration to new product redesigns.
There are some additional control features that may be used
in new designs. However, it is not necessary to program
these bits when upgrading a legacy system with the new
modulator family.
CONTROL REGISTER FORMAT
The control register format is shown in Figure 6 and the
descriptions for the High-order and Low-order bits (bytes) are

The Test Mode bits, X5:X0, found in the frequency and
control registers, control 15 different test mode states. Only
four of these states have an application use. All other states
are intended for manufacturing test purposes only.
The test mode states defined by X2:X0 in Table 18 may be
used to operate the modulator in the in VHF range.
It should be noted that operation in the VHF range has
a high spurious content due to the digital dividers.
Filtering of the RFOUT signal may be required to meet
desired performance specifications. Performance

DATA/STATUS REGISTER FORMAT
The data/status read back format is shown in Figure 10.
The first byte contains the status information on the RF oscillator out-of-frequency range and is the same format used by
the legacy devices. Therefore, current legacy software will be
unaffected as it will only read back this most significant byte.
During manufacturing test, additional two byte registers
are read back without sending a stop condition. This read
back data has no significance to end system applications.
Therefore if it is read by a master, it should be ignored.
The bit description for the status byte is listed in Table 21.

Video: 600m V(PP) sinusoidal signal inserted
on the black level of active video area.
The Video signal is demodulated on the spectrum analyzer, and the peak level
of the 100 kHz signal is measured as a reference. The frequency is then swept
from 100 kHz to 5 MHz, and then the difference in dB from the 100 kHz
reference level is measured.
Weighted Video Signal to Noise

No Audio signal
This is measured using a Demodulator in B/G
(using a CCIR Rec. 567 weighting network,
100 kHz to 5 MHz band with sound trap and
envelope detection, and a Video Analyzer.
The Video Analyzer measures the ratio between the amplitude of the active
area of the video signal (700mV) and the noise level in Vrms on a video black
level which is show below.
Video S/N is calculated as 20 x log(700 /N) in dB.

Audio Modulation Index - FM Modulation
Video: Black Sync
Audio signal: 1 kHz, 205 mVrms.
This is measured using a Demodulator in B/G
and an Audio Analyzer at 1 kHz
The audio signal 205 mV at 1 kHz is supplied by the Audio Analyzer, and the
FM demodulated signal deviation is indicated on the Demodulator in kHz peak.
This value is then converted in % of FM deviation, based on specified
standards.
Audio Frequency Response
Video: Black Sync
Audio signal: 50 Hz to 15 kHz, 100 mVrms
This is measured using a Demodulator in B/G
and an Audio Analyzer.
The audio signal 1 kHz 100 mVrms is supplied by the Audio Analyzer,
demodulated by the Demodulator and the audio analyzer measures the AC
amplitude of this demodulated audio signal: this value is taken as a reference
(0 dB).
The audio signal is then swept from 50 Hz to 15 kHz, and demodulated AC
amplitude is measured in dB relative to the 1 kHz reference.
Audio pre-emphasis and de-emphasis circuits are engaged, all audio analyzer
filters are switched OFF.
Audio Distortion FM
Audio: 1 kHz, adjustable level
Video: Black Sync
This is measured using a UHF Demodulator in
B/G and an Audio Analyzer at 1 kHz. The
output level of the audio analyzer is varied to
obtain a deviation of 50 kHz indicated on the
Demodulator.
The input arms detector of the Audio Analyzer converts the ac level of the
combined signal + noise + distortion to dc. It then removes the fundamental
signal (1 kHz) after having measured the frequency. The output rms detector
converts the residual noise + distortion to dc. The dc voltmeter measures both
dc signals and calculates the ratio in% of the two signals.
ADist = ( Distortion + Noise ) ⁄ ( Distortion + Noise + Signal )
Audio Signal to Noise
Audio: 1 kHz, adjustable level
Video: EBU Color Bars
This is measured using a Demodulator in B/G
and an Audio Analyzer at 1 kHz. The output
level of the Audio analyzer is varied to obtain
a Modulation Deviation of 25 kHz indicated on
the Demodulator.
The Audio Analyzer alternately turns ON and OFF its internal audio source to
make a measure of the Audio signal plus noise and then another measure of
only the noise.
The measurement is made using the internal CCIR468-2 Filter of the Audio
Analyzer together with the internal 30 +/−2 kHz (60 dB/decade) Lowpass
filters.
The demodulator uses a quasi-parallel demodulation as is the case in a normal
TV set. In this mode the Nyquist filter is bypassed and the video carrier is used
without added delay to effectuate intercarrier conversion. In this mode the
phase noise information fully cancels out and the true S/N can be measured.
ASN ( dB ) = 20 × log ( Signal + Noise ) ⁄ ( Noise )
