Single Output LNB Supply and Control
Voltage Regulator with I²C Interface for
Advanced Satellite Set-top Box Designs
The ISL6421 is a highly integrated solution for supplying
power and control signals from advanced satellite set-top
box (STB) modules to the low noise block (LNB). This device
is comprised of a current-mode boost PWM and a low-noise
linear regulator, along with the circuitry required for I²C
device interfacing and for providing DiSEqC^TM standard
control signals to the LNB.
A regulated output voltage is available at the output terminal
(VOUT) to support the operation of the antenna port in
advanced satellite STB applications. The regulated output
may be set to either 13V or 18V by use of the voltage select
command (VSEL) through the I²C bus. Additionally, to
compensate for the voltage drop in the coaxial cable, the
voltage may be increased by 1V with the line length
compensation (LLC) feature. An enable command sent on
the I²C bus provides standby mode control for the PWM and
linear combination, disabling the output to conserve power.
A current-mode boost converter provides the linear regulator
with an input voltage that is set to the required output
voltage, plus 1.2V (typ.) to insure minimum power
dissipation. This maintains a constant voltage drop across
the linear pass element, while permitting an adequate
voltage range for tone injection.
The device is capable of providing 450mA (typ.).

NOTE: Intersil Pb-free products employ special Pb-free material
sets; molding compounds/die attach materials and 100% matte tin
plate termination finish, which is compatible with both SnPb and
Pb-free soldering operations. Intersil Pb-free products are MSL
classified at Pb-free peak reflow temperatures that meet or exceed
the Pb-free requirements of IPC/JEDEC J Std-020B.
