Introduction

Introduction
The LNBH24 includes two completely independent sections. Except for the V
CC
and I²C
inputs, each circuit can be separately controlled and have independent external
components. The specification that follow should be considered equally for both sections
(A/B).
2.1
Application information
This IC has a built-in DC-DC step-up converter which, from a single 8 V to 15 V source,
generates the voltages (V
UP
) that allow the linear post-regulator to work at a minimum
dissipated power of 0.375 W Typ. @ 500 mA load (the linear post-regulator drop voltage is
internally held at V
UP
-V
OUT
=0.75 V typ.). An under voltage lockout circuit will disable the
entire circuit when the supplied V
CC
drops below a fixed threshold (6.7 V typically).
Note:
In this document the V
OUT
is intended as the voltage present at the linear post-regulator
output (V
oRX
pin).
2.2
DiSEqC™ data encoding and decoding
The new internal 22 kHz tone generator (patent pending) is factory trimmed in accordance
with the standards, and can be selected through I²C interface TTX bit (or TTX pin) and
activated by a dedicated pin (DSQIN) which allows immediate DiSEqC™ data encoding, or
through TEN I²C bit in case the 22 kHz presence is requested in continuous mode. In
standby condition (EN bit LOW). The TTX function must be disabled setting TTX to LOW.
2.3
DiSEqC™ 2.0 implementation
The built-in 22 kHz Tone detector completes the fully bi-directional DiSEqC™ 2.0 (see
Note:)
interfacing. Its input pin (DETIN) must be AC coupled to the DiSEqC™ bus, and
extracted PWK data are available on the DSQOUT pin. To comply with the bi-directional
DiSEqC™ 2.0 bus hardware requirements an output R-L filter is needed. The LNBH24 is
provided with two output pins for each section, one for the DC voltage output (V
oRX
) and one
for the 22 kHz tone transmission (V
oTX
). The V
oTX
must be activated only during the tone
transmission while the V
oRX
provides the 13/18 V output voltage. This allows the 22 kHz
Tone to pass without any losses due to the R-L filter impedance (see
Figure 4).
During the
22 kHz transmission, in DiSEqC™ 2.0 applications, activated by DSQIN pin or by the TEN
bit, the V
oTX
pin must be preventively set ON by the TTX function. This can be controlled
both through the TTX pin and the I²C bit. As soon as the tone transmission is expired, the
V
oTX
must be disabled by setting the TTX to LOW to set the device in the 22 kHz receiving
mode. The 13/18 V power supply is always provided to the LNB from the V
oRX
pin through
the R-L filter.
2.4
DiSEqC™ 1.X implementation
When the LNBH24 is used in DiSEqC™ 1.x applications the R-L filter is always needed for
the proper operation of the 22 kHz tone generator (patent pending. See
Figure 4).
Also in
this case, the TTX function must be preventively enabled before to start the 22 kHz data
transmission and disabled as soon as the data transmission has been expired. The tone can
