Figure 2. MC44BS373CA Simplified Block Diagram
The MC44BS373CA device has three main sections:
• A high-speed I2C-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.
