PLL Tuned VHF (Channel 3 / 4) Audio / Video Modulator

The MC44BC375U and MC44BC375UA are audio/video RF modulators for use in VCRs, set-top boxes, and similar devices. They are designed for applications requiring National Television System Committee, NTSC, channel 3 or channel 4, RF outputs. The difference between the two modulators is the RF output power level. The nominal RFOUT level for the MC44BC375U is 76 dBµV (typical) and the RFOUT level for the MC44BC375UA is 80 dBµV (typical).
