Satellite IF Switch
General Description
The MAX12005 satellite IF switch IC is designed for
multi-user applications supporting two quad universal
low-noise blocks (LNBs) to be matrix switched to four
satellite receivers. The system can be easily expanded
to accept 16 satellite IF inputs using the cascade option
and one additional satellite IF switch IC. A configuration
of eight satellite IF inputs to eight satellite receivers is
also possible by using two ICs and adding eight input
splitters. The insertion loss of these splitters can be com-
pensated by a +6dB or +12dB input gain select.
There are two ways to control the switch function.
Each IC contains four DiSEqCK 2.0 decoders and four
alternate tone/voltage decoders. The decoders use an
integrated trimmed oscillator, simplifying the MAX12005
implementation into any system. There are four opera-
tional modes, which include LNB mode (for use within
the LNB), cascade master mode, cascade slave mode,
and single mode.
The satellite IF switch is designed on an advanced SiGe
process and is available in a lead-free 48-pin TQFN
surface-mount package (7mm x 7mm).
