DIODES ZLNB101

DUAL POLARISATION SWITCH TWIN LNB
MULTIPLEX CONTROLLER
ZLNB101
ISSUE 1- JANUARY 2001
DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The ZLNB101 operates from a single supply
of between 5-12V. Its quiescent current is
typically only 4mA and this does not change
significantly with load or logic state. It is
available in either the standard SO8 or space
saving MSOP8 surface mount packages.
Device operating temperature is -40°C to
+85°C to suit a wide range of environmental
conditions.
The ZLNB101 dual polarisation switch
controller is one of a wide range of satellite
receiver LNB support circuits. It features two
completely independent channels, each
providing two logic outputs under the
control of a voltage sensitive input. It is
intended for use in Twin LNB designs,
replacing many dIscrete components to save
both manufacturing cost and PCB size whilst
improving reliability.
The two inputs of the ZLNB101 have a
nominal threshold of 14.5V. Their 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.
Normal and an inverted outputs are
provided for each input. All outputs can
source 15mA and sink 10mA making them
suitable to drive TTL and CMOS logic, pin
diodes and for IF-amp supply switching.

Note:1) VPOL1 and VPOL2 switching thresholds apply over the whole operating temperature range
specified above.
2) Inputs VPOL1 and VPOL2 are designed to be wired to the power input of an LNB via high value
(10k) resistors. Input VPOL1 controls outputs Vert1 and Hor1. Input VPOL2 controls outputs Vert2
and Hor2. With either input voltage set at or below 14V, the corresponding Vert pin will be high
and Hor pin low. With either input voltage at or above 15.0V, the corresponding Vert pin will be
low and Hor pin high. Any input or output not required may be left open-circuit.
3) All outputs are designed to be compatible with TTL, CMOS, pin diode and IF Amp loads.
4) Applied via 10k resistors
The following block diagram shows a typical block diagram twin LNB design. The ZLNB101
provides the two polarity switches required to decode the two independent receiver feeds.
Additionally the front end bias requirements of the LNB are provided by the ZNBG4000 or
ZNBG6000 offering a very efficient and cost effective solution.
