MC44CC375AV
The MC44CC375 CMOS RF modulator is the latest generation of the legacy
MC44BC375 products.
The MC44CC375AV is an audio/video RF modulator for use in VCRs, set-top
boxes, and similar devices. It is designed for applications requiring US broad-
cast, channel 3 or channel 4, RF outputs.
A programmable Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) tunes the modulator, and the de-
sired channel 3 or 4 frequency is selected using the external package pin, Chan-
nel Selection (CHS). No external tank circuit components are required, reducing
the sensitivity of the PCB design and the need for external adjustments. The PLL
obtains its reference from a 4.0 MHz crystal oscillator.

(CHANNEL 3/4)
AUDIO/VIDEO MODULATOR
The sound oscillator can be turned ON and OFF by the external package pin
Sound Oscillator Control (SOC). A fixed Picture to Sound ratio of 12 dB and
4.5 MHz sound subcarrier are used for MC44CC375AV. A low-power standby
mode is selectable via the pin, Power Save (PSAVE), which turns off all internal
VCOs and mixers.
Also included in this new generation CMOS RF modulator is the Sound Auxil-
iary Input, pin AUX, which bypasses the sound FM modulator. This direct sound
RF modulator has found more and more applications in BTSC stereo systems.
