Dual Output LNB Supply and Control
Voltage Regulator with I2C Interface for
Advanced Satellite Set-Top Box Designs
The ISL6422 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 consists of two independent
current-mode boost PWMs and two low-noise linear
regulators along with the circuitry required for 22kHz tone
generation, modulation and I
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 0.8V 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
can be controlled in two ways:
• Full control from I
and VBOT12 bits, or
• Set the I
higher range (18V/19V) with the SELVTOP1 or
SELVTOP2 pin.
All the functions on this IC are controlled via the I
writing 8-bit words onto the System Registers (SR). The
same register can be read back, and 4-bits per output will
report the diagnostic status. Sepa ra t e en a b le c om m a n d s s en t

750mA of continuous current. The overcurrent limit can be
digitally programmed.
The External modulation input EXTM1, EXTM2 can accept a
modulated Diseqc command and transfer it symmetrically to
the output. Alternatively, the EXTM1 or EXTM2 pin can be
used to modulate the continuous internal tone.
