A8302
Dual LNB Supply and Control Voltage Regulators
Features and Benefits
Description
▪Integrated boost MOSFET, current sensing, and
compensation
▪Configurable boost capacitor option through I2C™ control
register: ceramic or electrolytic
▪Two switching frequency settings programmable through
I2C™ control register (563 kHz and 939 kHz)
▪Adjustable LNB output current limit from 250 to 950 mA
▫ Covers a wide array of application requirements
▫ Minimizes component sizing to fit each application
▫ For startup, reconfiguration, and continuous output
▫ Optional temporary increased current limit (+25%)
▫ Internal gate drive output BFGATEx for bypass FET used
in DiSEqC™ applications
The A8302 is a dual channel low noise block converter regulator
(LNBR). The A8302 consists of a monolithic linear and
switching voltage regulator, specifically designed to provide
the power and the interface signals to an LNB down converter
via coaxial cable in satellite TV receivers systems. The A8302
requires few external components, with the boost switch and
compensation circuitry integrated inside of the device. The boost
converter switching frequency and user-controlled current limit
minimize the size of the passive filtering components. User
controlled current limit and two switching frequency settings
allow to optimize size of passive filtering components.
A sleep pin is available to maximize power savings and to
quickly shut down the device if needed, without using I2C™
control.
Continued on the next page…
The A8302 has integrated tone detection capability
and the internal driver allows full two-way DiSEqC™
communications. For DiSEqC™ communication, the IC
provides an internal 22-kHz tone that is gated with the
TONECTRLx pin or accepts an external 22-kHz tone through
the TONECTRLx pin.
Package: 32-contact MLP/QFN with
exposed thermal pad (suffix ET)

Description (continued)
The A8302 offers Early Power Failure (EPF) warning, which helps
to initiate shutdown routines. The A8302 maximum output reverse
current can be set using the SINK_DIS bit.
A comprehensive set of fault registers are provided, which comply
with all the common standards, including: overcurrent, thermal
shutdown, undervoltage, and power not good.
The device uses a 2-wire bidirectional serial interface, compatible
with the I2C™ standard, that operates up to 400 kHz.
The A8302 is supplied in a 5 mm × 5 mm, 32-contact, lead (Pb) free
QFN package (suffix ET), with 100% matte tin plated leadframe.

A8302
Dual LNB Supply and Control Voltage Regulators
Functional Description
Boost Converter/Linear Regulator
The A8302 solution contains two tracking current-mode boost
converters and Linear regulators. The boost converter tracks the
requested LNB voltage to within 800 mV, to minimize power dissipation. Under conditions where the input voltage, VBOOSTx , is
greater than the output voltage, VLNBx, the linear regulator must
drop the differential voltage. When operating in these conditions,
care must be taken to ensure that the safe operating temperature
range of the A8302 is not exceeded.
The A8302 has internal pulse-by-pulse current limiting on the
boost converter and DC current limiting on the LNB output to
protect the IC against output short to GND faults.
Boost Converter Operation Under Light Load
At extremely light load or no load, if the BOOSTx voltage tries to
exceed the BOOSTx target voltage, the boost converter operates
with minimum on-time. The BOOSTx settling voltage depends
on: supply voltage, boost inductance, minimum on-time, switching frequency, output power, as well as power loss in the boost
inductor, capacitor, and the A8302. If the BOOSTx voltage tries
to exceed 23.7 V, the optionally-enabled adjustable sink is turned
on. This internal sink helps to avoid pulse skipping and audible
noise with ceramic capacitors on BOOSTx. The internal sink
on BOOSTx gradually increases from 0 mA proportional to the
result of VBOOSTx – 23.7 V, and the sink current reaches a maximum value of 17.9 mA when VBOOSTx reaches 27 V. Beyond
this, if the BOOSTx voltage tries to exceed 27 V, the internal sink
current on BOOSTx will be held at 17.9 mA till VBOOSTx reaches
28 V. Beyond this, if the BOOSTx voltage tries to exceed 28 V,
the A8302 enters into pulse skipping with 350 mV hysteresis.
During pulse skipping the internal sink on BOOSTx is turned off
when BOOSTx stops switching.
The optional internal sink on BOOSTx is enabled / disabled by
setting / resetting Control Register 0 bit 7( SINK_NL). This bit is
common to both channels. When the SINK_NL bit is set to 1, the
adjustable internal sink is enabled. When the SINK_NL bit is set
to 0, the internal sink on BOOSTx is disabled.

A8302
Dual LNB Supply and Control Voltage Regulators
Multiple Outputs
In the case that two or more set top box LNB outputs are connected together by the customer (such as with a splitter), it is
possible that one output could be programmed at a higher voltage
than the other. This would cause a voltage on one output that is
higher than its programmed voltage (for example, 19 V on the
output of a 13 V programmed voltage). The output with the
highest voltage will effectively turn off the other outputs.
As soon as this voltage is reduced below the value of the other
outputs, the A8302 output will auto-recover to its programmed
levels.
Charge Pump
Generates a supply voltage above the internal tracking regulator
output to drive the linear regulator control.
LNBx and BOOSTx Current Limits Setting
The LNB output current limit, IOUTx(MAX) can be set by connecting a resistor (RSETx) from the ISETx pin to GND as shown
in the applications schematics. The LNBx current limit can be
set from 300 to 1000 mA, corresponding to an RSETx value of
100 to 30 kΩ, respectively. See figure 1 for a typical circuit timing example.
The LNBx output current limit can be set as high as 1000 mA
(by selecting an RSETx of 30 kΩ), but care should be taken not
to exceed the thermal limit of the package, or thermal shutdown
(TSD) will occur. The typical LNB output current limit can be set
according to the following equation:
IOUTx(MAX) = 29,925 / RSETx ,
where IOUTx(MAX) is in mA and RSETx is in kΩ.
If the voltage at the ISETx pin is 0 V (that is, shorted to GND),
IOUTx(MAX) will be clamped to a moderately high value, 1.2 A.
Care should be taken to ensure that ISETx is not inadvertently
grounded. If no resistor is connected to the ISETx pin (that is, if
ISETx is open-circuit), IOUT(MAX) will be set to approximately
0 A and the A8302 will not support any load (OCP will occur
prematurely).
The BOOSTx pulse-by-pulse current limit, IBOOSTx(MAX), is
automatically scaled along with the LNBx output current limit.
The typical BOOSTx current limit is set according to the following equation:
IBOOSTx(MAX) = 3.0 × IOUTx(MAX) + 900 (mA) ,
where both IBOOSTx(MAX) and IOUTx(MAX) are in mA.
Automatically scaling the BOOSTx current limit allows the
designer to choose the lowest possible saturation current of the
boost inductor, reducing its physical size and PCB area, thus
minimizing cost.
Protection
The A8302 has a wide range of protection features and fault diagnostics which are detailed in the Status Register section.
Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
The Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) comparator monitors the
voltage at the VIN pin and keeps the regulator disabled if the
voltage is below the lockout threshold, VIN(th) . The UVLO comparator incorporates enough hysteresis, VUVLOHYS , to prevent
on-off cycling of the regulator due to IR drops in the VIN path
during heavy loading or during startup.
Overload and Short Circuit Handling
The A8302 protects the IC against output overload and short circuit. The short circuit disable timer is controlled with the TDIS_T
bit. If this bit is set to 1, the IC allows an overcurrent condition
to persist up to 45 ms and if this bit is set to 0, the maximum
overcurrent time allowed is 28 ms. The A8302 provides the
option either to latch or to auto‑restart on fault. If the RSMODE
bit is set to 1, with an overcurrent condition that exceeds typically
45 ms (TDIS_T set to 1) or 28 ms (TDIS_T set to 0), the IC turns
off output for 1 s and then auto-restarts with the previous settings.
This hiccup mode continues as long as output current is greater
than the OCP level. The device returns to normal operation when
the fault is removed. If RSMODE is set to 0, the IC turns off after
tDIS time expires, and remains latched. Figures 2a and 2b explain
overcurrent protection operation with RSMODE at 1 and at 0.
The A8302 has an optional 25% bump up on the current limit for
tdis /4 period. This feature is enabled / disabled by setting or resetting Control Register 2 bits 0 and 1 for channel 1 and channel 2
respectively. When this bit is enabled, the output current limit is
25% more than the set current limit, or 1000 mA (max), for both
limits a minimum of tdis /4 period. After the tdis / 4 period, the output current limit comes down to the set limit and the OCPx_25P
bit is reset to zero, The user must set this bit again to enable the
25% bump up at the next current limit event. If the OCPx_25P bit
is zero when LNBx output is shorted to ground, the LNBx output
current will be clamped to IOUTx(MAX). If the short circuit condition lasts for more than 45 ms, the A8302 will be disabled and the
OCPx bit will be set. Refer to figures 16a and 16b.

A8302
Dual LNB Supply and Control Voltage Regulators
Switching Frequency Selection
The A8302 offers two switching frequencies: 563 kHz and
939 kHz. High switching frequency allows minimizing the component size, which also increases switching losses. Use a high
switching frequency setting to optimize component size and take
care of A8302 power dissipation. High switching frequency is
preferred for low output current applications. Where the A8302
power dissipation is of a concern, use a low switching frequency
setting. Refer to application schematic section for details. Switching frequency is adjusted using Control Register 0, bit 4. User
program should select a correct switching frequency setting for
which the hardware is designed.
Slew Rate Control
Compensation Network Selection
The A8302 is designed to work with ceramic or electrolytic
capacitors on BOOST output. Boost loop compensation required
is different for ceramic and electrolytic capacitor options. The
proper compensation network is selected by setting Control Register 0, bit 5. User program should select a correct compensation
network setting based on the boost capacitor selection.
where SR is the required slew rate of the LNB output voltage, in V/s, and ITCAPx is the TCAPx pin current specified in
the Electrical Characteristics table. The recommended value
for CTCAPx , 100 nF, should provide satisfactory operation for
most applications.
When VIN goes below UVLO level, all control registers are reset
to default value, that is, 0. The user must write proper bits upon
each power-up. Application based bits all are bunched into Control Register 0, which are normally not required to change during
operation. Switching frequency, compensation network, and overcurrent disable delay bits must not be changed during operation.
VIN
During either startup, or when the output voltage at the LNBx pin
is transitioning, the output voltage rise and fall times can be set
by the value of the capacitor connected from the TCAPx pin to
GND (CTCAPx in the applications schematics). Note that during
start-up, the BOOSTx pin is pre-charged to the input voltage
minus a diode voltage drop. As a result, the slew rate control for
the BOOSTx pin occurs from this voltage. See figure 3.
The value of CTCAPx can be calculated using the following formula:
CTCAPx = (ITCAPx × 6) / SR ,
The minimum value of CTCAPx is 10 nF. There is no theoretical
maximum value of CTCAPx however too large a value will probably cause the voltage transition specification to be exceeded.
Tone generation is unaffected by the value of CTCAPx .
Pull-Down Rate
In applications that have to operate at very light loads and that
require large load capacitances (in the order of tens to hundreds
of microfarads), set the SINK_DIS bit to 0, so the output linear

stage provides approximately 25 mA of pull-down capability.
This ensures that the LNBx output voltage is ramped from 18 to
13 V in a reasonable amount of time. When the tone is on, the
output linear stage increases its pull-down capability to approximately 60 mA. This ensures that the tone signal meets all specifications, even with no load on the on the LNBx output.
Thermal Shutdown (TSD)
The A8302 protects the IC against overheating. If junction
temperature exceeds 165°C (typ), LNBx output and the boost
converter output are disabled until TJ cools below 145°C. The
A8302 provides the option either to latch or to auto‑restart on
fault. If the RSMODE bit is set to 1, the A8302 IC attempts to
restart at 1-second intervals, but restart is successful only with TJ
< 145°C. This hiccup mode continues as long as TJ > 145°C. The
device returns to normal operation when the fault is removed.
If RSMODE is set to 0, the IC turns off, and remains latched.
Figures 4a and 4b explain thermal shutdown protection operation
with RSMODE at 1 and at 0.
SINK_DIS Mode Selection
The A8302 SINK_DIS bit allows to select the maximum output
reverse current. When the SINK_DIS bit is set to 1, the maximum LNBx back feed current, IRLNBx , is less than 10 mA. When
the outputs of the LNBx converters are shorted, a 10 mA back
feed current will prevent loading of one converter output by
another converter output.
is 22 kHz. Note: This tone can be generated under no-load conditions and does not require an external DiSEqC™ filter.
When the TMODE bit is set to 1, an external 22-kHz tone signal
can be applied to the TONECTRLx pin. This tone frequency
appears at the LNBx output. VOUTx reaches the VLNBref level
after TONECTRLx has been low for longer than 42 µs.
Tone Detection
A 22-kHz tone detector is provided in the A8302. The detector
extracts the 22 kHz signal from the AC-coupled TDIx pin and
provides it as an open-drain logic output at the TDOx pin. Also,
when a tone is present, the TDET bit in the Status register is set
to 1 and can be seen via the I2C interface. The tone detection
delay is typically shorter than 1.5 cycles.
The tone detector dynamically adjusts its amplitude and frequency thresholds depending on whether the A8302 is transmitting or receiving a tone signal. If the A8302 is transmitting,
the tone detect amplitude threshold is relatively high and the
acceptable frequency range is tight. This provides a high quality tone signal is always generated by the A8302. Conversely,

In-Rush Current
At startup or during an LNB Reconfiguration event, a transient
surge current above the normal DC operating level can be provided by the A8302. This current increase can be as high as the
set output current.
Tone Generation
The A8302 offers two options for tone generation (figure 5). The
TONECTRLx pin with the TMODE control bit provides the necessary control. The TMODE bit controls whether the tone source
is internal or external.
When the internal source is used (TMODE bit set to 0), the tone
is gated with the TONECTRLx pin. The internal tone frequency

pin voltage goes above VEPF_TH + VEPF_TH_hys .
To help in the understanding, typical tone detector operation
is shown graphically in figures 6a and 6b. The shaded areas
in figure 6a indicate the accept range of the detector when
TONECTRLx is a logic high (transmit) and a logic low (receive).

Case 1: EPF warning when VIN falls to 10.5 V
Early Power Failure Warning (EPF)
The EPF signal gives the microcontroller early warning that the
supply voltage is falling below the EPF threshold value, so the
microcontroller can start to shed non-critical loads (such as the
LNBR) and begin its shutdown routines.
Tone Amplitude (mV)
When the voltage on the EPF pin falls below VEPF_TH , the EPF
bit is set and IRQ is pulled low. When the EPF pin voltage goes
above VEPF_TH + VEPF_TH_hys, the EPF bit is reset after the pro-
The delay between when the EPF pin voltage goes to VEPF_TH +
VEPF_TH_hys and when the EPF bit is reset, is programmed by the EPF0 and EPF1 bits. See table 3b for description.
The following examples explain selection of resistors R1 and R2
to set the EPF warning when VIN falls to 10.5 V or 7 V.
Assume:
Nominal Input Voltage = 12 V,
VEPF_TH = 3.5 V,
VEPF_TH_hys = 0.175 V, and

VEPF_TH = EPF_TH1 × R2 / (R1 + R2 ), where
R2 / (R1 + R2 ) = 3.5 / 10.5 = 1 / 3, then
choose R2 = 10 kΩ , R1 = 20 kΩ.

Cable Disconnect Detection
A8302 does not go to pulse skipping if the BOOSTx voltage
settles below 28V(typ), this facilitates increased boost voltage
can be used to detect the cable disconnect . If the given application and supply voltage will ensure BOOSTxH voltage exceed
23.7V (typ) at no -load , Status register 1 bits BOOSTxH can be
used for cable disconnect detection .
For the application requirements shown in schematic 3 and 4 at
Vin= 12+/-5% , Boost voltage is expected to exceed 23.7V and
which sets status register 1 bits BOOSTxH to high. Host controller can decode these bits t for the cable disconnect detection.
In the applications where Boost voltage cannot exceed 23.7V
(typ) at no-load , A simple potential divider connection on
BOOST, as shown in Figure 8, is used to sense the BOOST voltage. When the volt­age on EPF pin is below VEPF_TH , the EPF
bit is set to 1. When voltage on the EPF pin exceeds VEPF_TH +
VEPF_TH_hys , the EPF bit is reset to 0. The combination of Rc1
and Rc2 is selected such that, when the cable is disconnected, the
voltage on the EPF pin exceeds VEPF_TH + VEPF_TH_hys and resets
the EPF bit to 0; other­wise the EPF bit is set to 1.
To enable the cable disconnect test, set the LNB output volt­
age to 13.333 V and read the Status register bit. If the EPF bit is
reset, the cable is disconnected, otherwise the cable is connected.
When the cable disconnect feature is used, the EPF pin senses
the BOOST voltage, so the Early Power Failure warning (EPF)
feature cannot be used.

Boost Inductor
The A8302 is designed to operate with a boost inductor value of
either 10 μH ±30% ( Set Fsw bit =0 ) or 4.7 μH ±30% ( Set Fsw
bit =1 ) with a DCR less than 75 mΩ. The error amplifier loop
compensation, current sense gain, and PWM slope compensation were chosen for this value of inductor. The boost inductor
must be able to support the peak currents required to maintain the
maximum LNBx output current without saturating. Figure 9a can
be used to determine the peak current in the induc­tor tor given
the LNBx load current. The curve labeled Typical uses VIN = 12
V, VBOOST = 20 V, L = 10 μH, and f = 563 kHz, while the curve
labeled Maximum assumes VIN = 10.8 V, VBOOST = 21 V, L =
7 μH, and f = 507 kHz.
Figure 9b can be used to determine the peak current in the induc­
tor tor given the LNBx load current. The curve labeled Typical

Two possible ceramic based capacitor solutions have been presented. Other capacitor combinations are certainly possible, such
as a very low ESR electrolytic capacitor in parallel with several
microfarads of ceramic capacitance. However, there are two
critical requirements that must be satisfied: 1) the zero formed by
the electrolytic capacitor and its ESR should be at least 1 decade
higher than the 0 dB crossover of the boost loop (typically around
25 kHz), and 2) the ceramic capacitors must eliminate the high
frequency switching spikes/edges in the boost voltage, or the
LNB output noise will be too high.
Boost Electrolytic Capacitor Option
The A8302 can be configured to operate with a low-ESR electrolytic boost capacitor of 100 μF ±25% . The ESR of the boost
capacitor must be less than 150 mΩ or the boost converter will
be unstable. General purpose electrolytic capacitors that do not
specify an ESR should be avoided. Allegro recommends an
electrolytic capacitor that is rated to support at least 35 V and has
an rms current rating to support the maximum LNBx load. Figure
9 can be used to determine the necessary rms current rating of the
boost capacitor given the LNBx load current.

BOOSTx Filtering and LNBx Noise
The LNBx output noise depends on the amount of high-frequency
noise at the BOOSTx pin. To minimize the high-frequency noise
at the BOOSTx pin, the ceramic capacitors should be placed as
close as possible to the BOOSTx pin.
Surge Components
Set-top–box suppliers have increased their surge specifications
to require surge to failure of the TVS, or ±4000 V, whichever

occurs first. These increased surge voltages produce significantly
more current in both the external circuitry and the A8302. Allegro
surge testing has shown that the SMDJ20A and LNBTVS6-221
usually fail at approximately 43 V, so all of the LNBR output
components (ceramic capacitors, diodes, and so forth) should
support at least 50 V.
To protect at these higher voltage/current levels three modifications must be made:
• For increased positive surge, the shunting diode from the LNBx
pin to the BOOSTx pin (D3, 3 A/40 V) is no longer adequate
to protect the body diode of the output stage. This diode must
be increased to a 3 A/50 V device and be located so that it is in
series with the BOOSTx pin as shown in application schematics 3
and 4. In this position D3 will block surge current to the majority
of the boost capacitance, but the 1 µF ceramic capacitor will still
filter the high frequency switching noise.
• For increased negative surge, the relatively small clamping
diode (D2) from the LNBx pin to ground is no longer adequate.
This diode must be increased from a 1 A / 40 V, SOD123 device
to a 3 A / 50 V, SMA.
• For a DiSEqC 1.0 application, a 0.47 Ω / 1% / 0.25 W series
resistor must be added as shown in the application schematics.
The 0.47 Ω rating could be reduced if there is enough equivalent resistance in any series output components such as jumpers,
inductors, or PCB traces. Every application will have its own
surge requirements and the surge solution can be changed. However, Allegro strongly recommends incorporating a form of surge
protection to prevent any pin of the A8302 from exceeding its
Absolute Maximum voltage ratings shown in this datasheet.

A8302
Dual LNB Supply and Control Voltage Regulators
I2C™-Compatible Interface
The I2C™ interface is used to access the internal Control and
Status registers of the A8302. This is a serial interface that uses
two lines, serial clock (SCL) and serial data (SDA), connected to
a positive supply voltage via a current source or a pull-up resistor. Data is exchanged between a microcontroller (master) and
the A8302 (slave). The master always generates the SCL signal.
Either the master or the slave can generate the SDA signal. The
SDA and SCL lines from the A8302 are open-drain signals, so
multiple devices may be connected to the I2C™ bus. When the
bus is free, both the SDA and the SCL lines are high.
Acknowledge Bit During a Write Sequence
When the master sends control data (writes) to the A8302 there
are three cases where AK bits are sent by the A8302. First, the
A8302 uses the AK bit to indicate reception of a valid sevenbit chip address plus a Read/Write bit (with R/W set to 0 for a
Write). Second, the A8302 uses the AK bit to indicate reception
of a valid eight-bit Control register address. Third, the A8302
uses the AK bit to indicate reception of eight bits of control data.
This protocol is shown in figure 11a.
Acknowledge Bit During a Read Sequence
When the master reads status data from the A8302 there are four
cases where AK bits are sent: three are sent by the A8302 and
one is sent by the master. First, the A8302 uses the AK bit to
indicate reception of a valid seven-bit chip address plus a Read/
Write bit (with R/W set to 0 for a Write). Second, the A8302 uses
the AK bit to indicate reception of a valid eight-bit Status register
address. Third, the A8302 uses the AK bit to indicate reception
of a valid seven-bit chip address plus a Read/Write bit (with
R/W set to 1 for a Read). Finally, the master uses the AK bit to
indicate receiving eight bits of status data from the A8302. This
protocol is shown in figure 11b.
SDA and SCL Signals
SDA can only be changed while SCL is low. SDA must be stable
while SCL is high. However, an exception is made when an
I2C™ Start or Stop condition is encountered. See the I2C™ Communications section for further details.
Acknowledge (AK) Bit
The Acknowledge (AK) bit indicates a valid transmission and
can be used in two ways. First, if the slave successfully receives
eight bits of either an address or control data, it pulls the SDA
line low (AK set to 0) for the ninth SCL pulse to signal a valid
transmission to the master. Second, if the master successfully
receives eight bits of status data from the A8302, it pulls the SDA
line low for the ninth SCL pulse to signal a valid transmission to
the slave. The recipient (either the master or the slave) should set
the AK bit high (AK set to 1, also referred to as NAK) for the
ninth SCL pulse if eight bits of data were not
received successfully.
I2C™ Communications
I2C™ Start and Stop Conditions
The I2C™ Start condition is defined by a negative edge on
the SDA line while SCL is high. Conversely, the Stop condition is defined by a positive edge on the SDA line while SCL
is high. The Start and Stop conditions are shown in figures 10a
and 10b. It is possible for a Start or Stop condition to occur at

any time during a data transfer. If either a Start or Stop condition
is encountered during a data transfer, the A8302 will respond by
resetting the data transfer sequence.
I2C™ Write Sequence Description
Writing to the A8302 Control register requires transmission of a
total of 27 bits: three 8-bit bytes of data plus an AK bit after each
byte. The Write sequence to the A8302 Control registers is shown
in figure 10a. Writing to the A8302 Control registers requires: an
I2C™ Start condition, a chip address with the R/W bit set to 0,
the Control register address, the control data, and an I2C™ Stop
condition as follows:
• The Chip Address cycle consists of a total of nine bits: seven
bits of chip address (A6 to A0) plus one R/W bit (set to 0 to
indicate a Write) from the master, followed by an AK bit (set to 0
to indicate reception of a valid chip address) from the slave. The
cycle begins with a Start condition. The chip address must be
transmitted MSB (A6) first. The first five bits of the A8302 chip
address (A6 to A2) are fixed as 00010. The remaining two bits
(A1 and A0) are used to select one of four possible A8302 chip
addresses. The DC voltage on the ADD pin programs the chip
address. See the Electrical Characteristics table for the ADD pin
voltages and the corresponding chip addresses.
• The Control Register Address cycle consists of a total of nine
bits: eight bits of Control register address (RC7 to RC0) from
the master followed by an AK bit (set to 0 to indicate reception
of a valid register address) from the slave. The Control register
address must be transmitted MSB (RC7) first. The A8302 has
two Control registers, with register addresses of 0000 0000 and
0000 0001.
• The Control Data cycle consists of a total of nine bits: eight
bits of control data (D7 to D0) from the master, followed by an
AK bit (set to 0 to indicate reception of eight valid bits) from the
slave. The control data must be transmitted MSB (D7) first. The
Control registers bits are identified in the Control Registers section of this datasheet. The cycle concludes with a Stop condition.
I2C™ Read Sequence Description
Reading from the A8302 Status register requires transmission of a
total of 36 bits: four 8-bit bytes of data, plus an AK bit after each
byte. The Read sequence from the A8302 Status register is shown
in figure 10b. Reading the A8302 Status register requires: an
I2C™ Start condition, a chip address with the R/W bit set to 0, the
Status register address, an I2C™ Stop condition, an I2C™ Start
condition, a repeat of the chip address with the R/W bit set to 1,
the status data, and an I2C™ Stop condition, as follows:
• The Chip Address cycle is identical to the Chip Address cycle
previously described for the Write sequence.
• The Status Register Address cycle consists of a total of nine
bits: eight bits of Status register address (RS7 to RS0) from the
master, followed by an AK bit from the slave. The Status register
address must be transmitted MSB (RS7) first. The A8302 has
only one Status register, so the Status register address is fixed at
0000 0000. The cycle concludes with a Stop condition.
• The Repeat Chip Address cycle is identical to the Chip Address
cycle previously described for the Write sequence.
• The Status Data cycle consists of a total of nine bits:
eight bits of status data (RD7 to RD0) from the slave, followed
by an AK bit from the master. The status data is transmitted MSB
(RD7) first. The Status register bits are identified in the Status
Registers section of this datasheet. The cycle concludes with a
Stop condition.

Status Registers (I2C™-Compatible Read Register)
The Status registers bits are described in tables 5a and 5b. The
main fault conditions: Early Power Failure (EPF), undervoltage
(UVLO), overcurrent (OCP), and thermal shutdown (TSD) are
all indicated by setting the relevant bits in the Status register. For
these fault cases (for OCP and TSD, only if the RSMODE bit
is set to 0), after the bit is set, it remains latched until the I2C™
master has successfully read the A8302, assuming the fault has
been resolved.
The undervoltage lockout (UVLO) bit indicates either VIN is below
VUVLO , or VREG is out of regulation. UVLO disables the LNBx
output and forces ¯Ī¯R̄¯¯Q̄ low. UVLO is a latched fault, and can only
be cleared by performing an I2C™ Read sequence.
The Disable bit (DISx) indicates the status of the LNBx output.
The DISx bit is set when either a fault occurs (UVLO, OCP,
TSD, or CPOK) or when the LNBx output is turned off using
the Enable bit (ENBx) via the I2C™ interface. The DISx bit is
latched and is only reset when there are no faults and the A8302
output is turned back on using the Enable (ENBx) bit via the
I2C™ interface.
respectively. These bits are not latched and, unlike the other fault
bits, may become reset without an I2C™ read sequence. The
PNGx, CPOKx, and TDETx bits are continuously updated.
The BOOSTxH bit is set when the BOOSTx voltage exceeds
23.7 V. This bit can be used to detect cable disconnect, provided
at the lowest supply voltage BOOSTx voltage should exceed
23.7 V.
There are three methods to detect when the Status register
changes: responding to the interrupt request ( ¯Ī¯R̄¯¯Q̄ ) pin going
low, continuously polling the Status register via the I2C™
interface, or detecting a fault condition external to the A8302
and performing a diagnostic poll of the A8302. In any case,
the master should read and re-read the Status register until the
status changes.
The Power Not Good (PNGx), Charge Pump OK (CPOKx), and Tone Detect (TDETx) bits are set based on the conditions sensed
at the LNBx output, VCPx, and Tone Detect Input (TDIx) pins,

Table 4. Status Registers Bit Descriptions
Name
Description
DISx
The DISx bit is set to 1 when the A8302 is disabled, (ENBx bit = 0) or there is a fault: UVLO,
OCPx, CPOKx, or TSD.
CPOKx
If the CPOKx bit is set to 0, the internal charge pump is not operating correctly (VCPx). If the
charge pump voltage is too low, the LNBx output is disabled and the DISx bit is set to 1.
OCPx
The OCPx bit will be set to 1 if the LNBx output current exceeds the overcurrent threshold
(IOUT(MAX)) for more than the overcurrent disable time (tDIS). If the OCPx bit is set to 1, then the
DISx bit is also set to 1.
TRIMS
Factory use only.
PNGx
The PNGx bit is set to 1 when the A8302 is enabled and the LNBx output voltage is either too low
or too high (nominally ±9% from the LNBx DAC setting). Set to 0 when the A8302 is enabled and
the LNBx voltage is within the acceptable range (nominally ±5% from the LNBx DAC setting).
TDETx
The TDETx bit is set to 1 if a tone is detected at the TDIx pin that is within the specified voltage
and frequency ranges. If TCTRLx = 1, the tone is being transmitted by the A8302, and the tone
detect low threshold is determined by VTD(XMT)L. If If TCTRLx = 0, it is assumed the tone is being
received from an external source, and the tone detect low threshold is determined by VTD(RCV)L.
TSD
The TSD bit is set to 1 if the A8302 has detected an overtemperature condition. If the TSD bit is
set to 1,then the DISx bit is also set to 1.
UVLO
The UVLO bit is set to 1 if either the voltage at the VIN pin or the voltage at the VREG pin is too
low. If the UVLO bit is set to 1, then the DISx bit is also set to 1.
BOOSTxH
EPF
The BOOSTxH bit is set to 1 when the voltage on BOOSTx exceeds 23.7 V. This bit
¯Q̄¯ .
automatically resets when BOOSTx voltage goes below 23.6 V. This bit has no effect on ¯¯I ¯R̄
The EPF bit is set to 1 when the voltage on the EPF pin falls below VEPF_TH. Also, IRQ\ is pulled
low. When the EPF pin voltage goes above VEPF_TH + VEPF_TH_Hys, the EPF bit is reset to 0 after
the delay selected by the EPF0 and EPF1 bits in the Control registers.
