LNB SUPPLY AND
CONTROL-VOLTAGE REGULATOR
Intended for analog and digital satellite receivers, the low-noise block
converter regulator (LNBR) is a monolithic linear and switching voltage
regulator designed to provide power and interface signals to the LNB down
converter via the coaxial cable. If the device is in stand-by mode (EN terminal
LOW), the regulator output is disabled, allowing the antenna downconverters to
be supplied or controlled by other satellite receivers sharing the same coaxial
cable. Similar two-output LNB supply and control voltage regulators are the
A8284SB/SLB.
For slave operation in single-dish dual-receiver systems, the bypass
function is implemented by an electronic switch between the master input
terminal (MI) and the LNB terminal, leaving all LNB power and control
functions to the master receiver. This electronic switch is closed if the device
is powered, EN is HIGH, and OSEL is LOW.
The regulator outputs are set to 12, 13, 18, or 20 V by the VSEL terminals.
Additionally, it is possible to increase the selected voltage by 1 V to compensate for the voltage drop in the coaxial cable (LLC terminal HIGH). The
LNBR combines a tracking switching regulator and low-noise linear regulator.
Logic inputs (VSEL0, VSEL1, and LLC) select the desired output voltage. A
tracking current-mode buck converter provides the linear regulator with an
input voltage that is set to the output voltage plus typically 0.8 V. This maintains constant voltage drop across the linear regulator while permitting adequate voltage range for tone injection.
The device is supplied in a 24-pin plastic DIP with batwing tabs
(A8283SB), or a 24-lead SOIC power-tab package (A8283SLB). In both cases,
the power tab is at ground potential and needs no electrical isolation.

Always order by complete part number, e.g., A8283SLB .
The ENT (Tone Enable) terminal activates the internal
tone signal, modulating the dc output with a ±0.3 V, 22
kHz symmetrical waveform. The internal oscillator is
factory-trimmed to provide a tone of 22 kHz ±2 kHz. No
further adjustment is required. The internal oscillator
operates the buck converter at 16 times the tone frequency.
Burst coding of the 22 kHz tone can be accomplished
due to the fast response of the ENT input and rapid tone
response. This allows implementation of the DiSEqC™
protocols.
To improve design flexibility and to allow implementation of proposed LNB remote control standards, an
analog modulation input terminal is available (EXTM).
An appropriate dc-blocking capacitor must be used to
couple the modulating signal source to the EXTM terminal. If external modulation is not used, the EXTM terminal can be left open.
The output linear regulator will sink and source
current. This feature allows full modulation capability
into capacitive loads as high as 0.25 µF.
In operation, the short-circuit protection produces
current fold-back at the input due to the tracking converter. If the output is shorted, the linear regulator will
limit the output current to I
. The tracking converter
OM
will maintain a constant voltage drop of 0.8 V across the
linear regulator. This condition results in typically 550
mW dissipation (IOM • 0.8 V). Short-circuit or thermalshutdown activation will cause the OLF terminal, an opendrain diagnostic output flag, to go LOW.

The device junction temperature should be kept below
150°C. Thermal shut-down circuitry turns off the device
if junction temperature exceeds +165°C typically.
The programmed output voltage rise and fall times
can be set by an internal 25 kΩ resistor and an external
capacitor located on the TCAP terminal. Although any
value of capacitor is permitted, practical values are
typically 0.001 µF to 0.02 µF. This feature only affects
the turn on and programmed voltage rise and fall times.
Modulation is unaffected by the choice of TCAP. This
terminal can be left open if voltage rise and fall time
control is not required.
Two terminals are dedicated to the over-current
protection/monitoring: SENSE and OLF. The LNB output
is current limited. The short-circuit protection threshold is
set by the value of an external resistor, R
terminals 3 and 8. RS = V
OM(th)/IOM
, between
S
where V
OM(th)
is the
current-limiting threshold voltage and IOM is the desired
current limit value. The minimum recommended value
for RS is 0.17 Ω.
