Advance Information
NICAM 728 - Stereo Encoder
The MC44C404 NICAM Stereo Encoder is the industry’s first single-chip
CMOS implementation of a Near Instantaneous Companding Audio Multiplex
728 (NICAM) stereo encoder.
• Intended for use in set-top boxes, VCRs, DVD players/recorders, game
stations, and other applications that are required to output high-quality stereo
sound through a single RF coaxial cable.
• Engineered to process analog audio signals to generate a QPSK modulated
signal in compliance with the EN 300 163 standard.
• Designed to output this signal to a Freescale RF modulator, which in turn
produces a stereo encoded RF channel for use with any NICAM stereo
television receiver.
Features
• Supports B, G, H, I, K1, L system standards
• NICAM digital audio processing encodes and transports stereo signals
• Integrated A/D converter input and D/A converter output circuitry
• Extended low frequency response (below 25 Hz)
• Simple passive interface to MC44BS373/4 UHF modulators
• Low power consumption - typically < 50 mW
• RoHS compliant
Benefits
• Preservation of original surround sound fidelity
• Multi standard
• Low system component count, small board size and significantly low overall
system cost
• No manual alignment of filters or phase controls
