Introduction

Introduction
The LNBH24L includes two completely independent sections. Unless for the V
CC
and I²C
inputs, each circuit can be separately controlled and have its independent external
components. All the below specification must be considered equal for both sections (A/B).
2.1
Application information (valid for each section A/B)
This IC has a built-in DC-DC step-up converter that, from a single source from 8 V to 15 V,
generates the voltages (V
UP
) that let the linear post-regulator to work at a minimum
dissipated power of 0.55 W typ. @ 500 mA load per channel (the linear post-regulator drop
voltage is internally kept at V
UP
- V
OUT
= 1.1 V typ.). An under voltage lockout circuit will
disable the whole 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
The new internal 22 kHz tone generator is factory trimmed in accordance to the standards,
and can be selected by I²C interface TTX bit (or TTX pin) and activated by a dedicated pin
(DSQIN) that allows immediate DiSEqC™ data encoding, or through TEN I²C bit in case the
22 kHz presence is requested in continuous mode. In stand-by condition (EN bit LOW) the
TTX function must be disabled setting TTX to LOW.
2.3
DiSEqC™ 1.X implementation by EXTM pin
In order to improve design flexibility and reduce the total application cost, an analogic
modulation input pin is available (EXTM) to generate the 22 kHz tone superimposed to the
V
oRX
DC output voltage. An appropriate DC blocking capacitor must be used to couple the
modulating signal source to the EXTM pin. If the EXTM solution is used the output R-L filter
can be removed (see
Section 5: Application circuits)
saving the external components
cost.The pin EXTM modulates the V
oRX
voltage through the series decoupling capacitor, so
that:
V
oRX( AC)
=
V
EXTM( AC)
×
G
EXTM
Where V
oRX
(AC) and V
EXTM
(AC) are, respectively, the peak to peak voltage on the V
oRX
and EXTM pins while G
EXTM
is the voltage gain from EXTM to V
oRX
.
2.4
DISEQC™ 1.X implementation with V
oTX
and EXTM pin
connection
If an external 22 kHz tone source is not available, it is possible to use the internal 22 kHz
tone generator signal available through the V
oTX
pin to drive the EXTM pin. By this way the
