■ 22KHZ Built-in tone oscillator (LNBP9 version)
■ Fast oscillator start-up for DiSEqCTM encoding
..The TONE pin (only for the LNBP9 version)
activates the internal oscillator so that the DC
output is modulated by a 22KHz square wave.
This internal oscillator is factory trimmed within a
tolerance of +/- 2KHz, thus no further adjustment
or external components are required. A burst
coding of the 22KHz tone can be accomplished
thanks to the fast response of the TONE input and
the prompt oscillator start-up. This helps

Description
DiSEqCTM protocols. In order to improve design
flexibility and to allow implementation of other
LNB remote control standards, an analogic
modulation input pin (EXTM) is available (LNBP8
version only). An appropriate DC blocking
capacitor must be used to couple the modulating
signal source to the EXTM pin. Both versions
integrate thermal and short circuit protection. The
device is packaged in PowerFlex for an easy
through-hole mounting. If an adequate Heatsink is
provided and higher power losses are acceptable,
both supply pins can be powered by the same
23V source without affecting any other circuit
performance.
Intended for analog and digital satellite receivers,
the LNBP is a monolithic linear voltage regulator,
assembled in PowerFlexTM, specifically designed
to provide the powering voltages and the
interfacing signals to the LNB down-converter.
The regulator output can be logic controlled to be
13V or 18V (typ.) by mean of the VSEL pin for the
remote controlling of the LNB. In order to reduce
the power dissipation of the device when the
lowest output voltage is selected, the regulator
has 2 supply inputs (VCC1 and VCC2). They must
be powered respectively at 15V (min.) and 22V
(min.), and an internal switch will automatically
select the appropriate supply voltage according to
the selected output voltage.
When the IC is powered and put in Stand-by (EN
pin LOW), the regulator output is disabled and the
IC power consumption is reduced to 300µA typ.
