Dual Output LNB Supply and Control
Voltage Regulator with I²C Interface for
Advanced Satellite Set-Top Box Designs
The ISL6424 is a highly integrated voltage regulator and
interface IC, specifically designed for supplying power and
control signals from advanced satellite set-top box (STB)
modules to the low noise blocks (LNBs) of two antenna
ports. The device is comprised of two independent current-
mode boost PWMs and two low-noise linear regulators along
with the circuitry required for 22kHz tone generation,
modulation and I²C device interface. The device makes the
total LNB supply design simple, efficient and compact with
low external component count.
Two independent current-mode boost converters provide the
linear regulators with input voltages that are set to the final
output voltages, plus typically 1.2V to insure minimum power
dissipation across each linear regulator. This maintains
constant voltage drops across each linear pass element
while permitting adequate voltage range for tone injection.
The final regulated output voltages are available at two
output terminals to support simultaneous operation of two
antenna ports for dual tuners. The outputs for each PWM are
set to 13V or 18V by independent voltage select commands
(VSEL1, VSEL2) through the I²C bus. Additionally, to
compensate for the voltage drop in the coaxial cable, the
selected voltage may be increased by 1V with the line length
compensation (LLC) feature. All the functions on this IC are
controlled via the I²C bus by writing 8 bits on System
Register (SR, 8 bits). The same register can be read back,
and two bits will report the diagnostic status. Separate enable
commands sent on the I²C bus provide independent standby
mode control for each PWM and linear combination, disabling
the output into shutdown mode.
Each output channel is capable of providing 750mA of
continuous current. The overcurrent limit can be digitally
programmed. The SEL18V pin allows the 13V to 18V
transition with an external pin, overriding the I²C input.
The ISL6424 is offered in a 32 Ld 5x5 QFN.
