DUAL TONE AND POLARITY SWITCH
LNB MULTIPLEX CONTROLLER
DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The ZLNB2006/09/10 group of dual polarisation and Universal LNB local oscillator selection is achieved by
tone switch controller are part of a wide range of detection of a low level AC voltage superimposed on
satellite receiver LNB support circuits available from the polarisation control voltage. To facilitate this

switching.
The threshold is temperature compensated to
minimise drift. Each features a low and stable input
current that enables transient protection to be
achieved with the addition of only a single resistor per
channel.
The ZLNB2006/09/10 operates from a single supply
which can be anything from 5-10V. Their quiescent
current is typically only 6mA and this does not change
significantly with load or logic state. They are available
in the space saving QSOP16 or QSOP20 surface mount
package.
Multi Feed LNBs can be called to operate with one or
more of their controlling receivers powered
down/disconnected, with attendant cable mismatch
problems. To ease design for this situation, each
polarisation input of the ZLNB2009/10 has a second
threshold set at 9.5V. An input voltage below this
threshold indicates “receiver not present”, switching
the relevant control channels high. This logic output
can be used to disable the associated downfeed driver,
eliminating any problems due to cable mismatch.
