Description
Intended for analog and digital satellite receivers, this single low noise block converter regulator (LNBR) is a monolithic linear and switching voltage regulator, specifically
designed to provide the power and the interface signals to an LNB down converter via coaxial cable. The A8296 requires few external components, with the boost switch and
compensation circuitry integrated inside of the device.
The A8296 has been designed for high efficiency, utilizing the Allegro® advanced BCD process. The integrated boost switch has been optimized to minimize both switching and
static losses. To further enhance efficiency, the voltage drop across the tracking regulator has been minimized.
For DiSEqC™ communications, a tone control pin is provided to gate the internally-generated 22 kHz tone on-and-off.
A comprehensive set of fault registers are provided, which comply with all the common standards, including: overcurrent, thermal shutdown, undervoltage, and power not good.
Furthermore, design methodology and structure ensure the highest level of robustness against transients and component failures.
The device uses a 2-wire bidirectional serial interface, compatible with the I2C™ standard, that operates up to 400 kHz.
The A8296 is supplied in a lead (Pb) free package.
