downconverter i n the antenna or to the multiswitch box. In this application field, it offers a complete solution with extremely low component count, low power dissipation together with simple design and

CTM standard interfac-ing. This IC has a built in DC/DC step-up controller that, from a s ingle supply source ranging from 8 to 15V, generates the voltages that let the linear post-regulator to work at a minimum dis sipat ed power. An UnderVoltage Lockout circuit will disable the whole circuit when the supplied V

drops below a fixedthreshold(6.7V typically).The internal 22KHz tone generator is factory t rim med in accordance to the standards, and can be controlled either by the I dedicated pin (DSQIN) that allows immediate DiSEqC

data encoding (*). All t he functions of

this IC are controlled via I

2CTM

interface or by a

bus by writing 6 bits on the System Register (SR, 8 bits) . The same register can be read back, and two bits will report the diagnostic status. When the IC is put in Stand-by (EN bit LOW), the power blocks are disabled and the loop-through switch between LT1 and LT2 pins is clos ed, thus leaving all LNB powering and control functions to the Master Receiver (**). When the regulator blocks are active (EN bit HIGH), the output can be logic controlled to be 13 or 18 V (typ.) by mean of t he VSEL bit (Voltage SELect) for remote controlling of non-DiSEqC LNBs. Additionally, it is possible to increment by 1V (typ.) the selected voltage value to compen sate for the excess voltage drop along the coaxial cable ( LLC bit HIGH). In order to minimise the power dissipation, the out put voltage of the internal step-up converter is adjusted to allow the linear regulator to work at m inimum dropout. Another bit of the SR is addressed to the remote control of non-DiSEqC LNBs: the TEN (Tone ENable) bit. When it is set to HIGH, a continuous 22K Hz to ne is gene rated regardless of the DSQIN pin logic status. The TEN bit must besetLOWwhentheDSQINpinisusedfor DiSEqC DiSEqC 22KHz tone detector. Its input pin (DETIN) must be AC coupled to the DiSEqC

encoding. The f ully bi-directional

interfacing is c ompleted by the built -in

bus, and the extractedPWKdataareavailableonthe DSQOUT pin (*). In order to improve design flexibility and to allow implementation of newcoming LNB remote control standards, an analogic modulation input pin is available (EXTM). An appropria te DC blocking

(*): External components are needed to comply to bi-directional DiSEqCTMbus hardware require-ments. Full compliance of the whole application toDiSEqCTMspecifications is not implied by the use of this IC. (**): The current limitation circuit has no effect on the loop-through switch. When EN bit is LOW, the current flowing from LT1 to LT2 must be externally limited.

capaci-tor must be used to couple the modulating signal sour ce to the EX TM pin. When external modulation is not used, the relevant pin can be left open. The cu rrent limitation block has two thresho lds that can be selected by the I

bitoftheSR;the

SEL

lower threshold is between 400 and 550m A (I

=HIGH), while the higher threshold is

SEL

between 500 and 650mA (I

SEL

=LOW). The current protection block is SOA type. This limits the short circuit current (Isc) typically at 200mA with I I

=LOW when the output port is connected to

SEL

=HIGH and at 300mA with

SEL

ground. It is possible to set the Short Circuit Current protection either statically (simple current clamp) or dy-namically by the PCL bit of the SR; when the PCL (Pulsed Current Limiting) bit is set to LOW, the overcurrent protection c ircuit w ork s dynamically: as soon as an overload is detected, the output is shut-down for a time t

, typically

off

900ms. S imultaneously the OLF bit of the System Register is set to HIGH. After this time has elapsed, the output is resumed for a time t 10t

(typ.). At the end of ton, if the overload is still

off

=1/

detected, the protection circuit will cycle again through Toff and T on. At the end of a full Ton in which no overload is detected, norm al operation is resumed and the OLF bit is reset to LOW. Typica l Ton+Toff time is 990ms and it is determined by an internal timer. This dynamic operation can greatly reduce the power dissipation in short circuit condition, still ensuring excellent power-on start up in most conditions (**) . However, there c ould be some cases in whi ch an highly capacitive load on the output may cause a difficult start-up when the dynamic protection is chosen. T his can be solved by initiating any power start-up in static mode (PCL=HIGH) and then switching t o the dynam ic mode (PCL=LOW) after a chosen amount of time. When in static mode, the OLF bit goes HIGH when the current clamp limit is reached and returns LOW when the overload condition is cleared. This IC is also protect ed against overheating: when the junction temperature exceeds 150°C (typ.), the step-up converter and the linear regulator are shut off, the loop-trough switch is opened, and the OTF bit of the SR is set to HIGH. Normal operation is resumed and the OTF bit is reset to LOW when the junction is cooled down to 140°C (typ.).

I2C BUS INTERFACE

Data transmission from main µP to the LNBP21 and viceversa takes place through t he 2 wires I2C bus interface, consisting of the two lines SDA and SCL (pull-up resistors to positive supply voltage must be externally connected).

DATA VALIDITY As shown in fig. 1, the data on the SDA line must

be stable during the high period of the clock. The HIGH and LOW state of the da ta line can only change when the c lock s ignal on the SCL line is LOW.

ACKNOWLEDGE The mas ter (µP) puts a resistive HIGH level on the

SDA l ine during the acknowledge clock pulse (see fig. 3). The peripheral (LNBP21) that acknowledges has to pull-down (LOW) the SDA line during the acknowled ge clock pulse, so that the SDA line is stable LOW during this clock pulse. The peripheral which has been addressed has to generate an ac k nowledge after the reception of each byte, other-wise the SDA line remains at the HIGH l ev el during the ninth clock pulse time. In this case the master transm it ter can generate t he STOP information in order to abort the transfer.

START A ND S TOP CONDITIONS As shown in fig.2 a start condition is a H IG H to

LOW transition of the SDA line while SCL is HIGH.

The LNBP21 won't gen-erate the acknowledge if the Vcc s upply is below the Undervoltage Lockout threshold (6.7V typ.).

The stop condition is a LOW to HIGH transition of the SDA line while SCL is HIGH. A STOP condi-tions must be sent before each START condition.

TRANSMISSION WITHOUT ACKNOWLEDGE Avoiding to detect the acknowledge of the

LNBP21, th e µP can use a simpler transmission:

BYTE FORMAT Every byte transferred to the SDA line must

contain 8 bits. Each byte must be followed by an ac-knowledge bit. The MSB is transferred first.

simply it waits one clock without checking the slave acknowledging, and sends the new data.

This approach of cou rse is less protected from misworking and decreases the noise immuni ty.
