SINGLE LNB-BIAS, CONTROL
AND POWER MANAGEMENT
SOLUTION

DESCRIPTION
The UTC L8200 is a single chip power management and
control solution for LNB’s. The highly integrated solution provides
all the required FET and mixer bias, control detection and
decoding, local oscillator switching and a stable power supply for
the IF amplifier, and additional support functions. Packaged in a
small 16 pin QFN package or 16 pin TSSOP package the UTC
L8200 only requires 3 external components providing a very small
compact solution. Being at the heart of the LNB monitoring the
control, power management and environmental conditions the
UTC L8200 is able to provide reliable solution eliminating effects
such as false switching and over loading.

FEATURES

Capacitors C1 and C2 ensure that residual power supply and substrate generator noise is not allowed to affect
other external circuits which may be sensitive to RF interference. They also serve to suppress any potential RF feed
through between stages via the UTC L8200. These capacitors are required for all stages used. Values of 10nF and
4.7nF respectively are recommended however this is design dependent and any value between 1nF and 100nF
could be used. The capacitor CSUB is an integral part of the UTC L8200 ’s negative supply generator. The negative
bias voltage is generated on-chip using an internal oscillator. The required value of capacitor CSUB is 47nF. This
generator produces a low current supply of approximately -3V. Although this generator is intended purely to bias the
external FETs, it can be used to power other external low current circuits via the CSUB pin. Resistor RCALA sets the
drain current at which all external amplifier FETs are operated and RCALM sets the mixer bias current. If any bias
control circuit is not required, its related drain and gate connections may be left open circuit without affecting the
operation of the remaining bias circuits. The UTC L8200 have been designed to protect the external FETs form
adverse operating conditions. With a JFET connected to any bias circuit, the gate output voltage of the bias circuit
can not exceed the range -3.0V~1V under any conditions, including power up and power down transients. Should
the negative bias generator be shorted or overloaded so that the drain current of the external FETs can no longer be
controlled, the drain supply to FETs is shut down to avoid damage to the FETs by excessive drain current. UTC
L8200 incorporates over and under voltage protection so is the receiver or installation develops a fault the LNB will
shut down and restart once operating conditions are back to normal.

SINGLE UNIVERSAL BLOCK DIAGRAM
The following block diagram below shows the main elements of a single universal LNB. A single chip solution
provides all the FET and mixer bias, control signal detect for polarization and band selection and all the necessary
power management functions required within a single universal LNB.

Polarization and band switching on the UTC L8200 uses the standard 13~17V and 22kHz as defined by Astra.
The exception is that the devices voltage detector has a much tighter tolerance than required to increase field
reliability.
The single VIN pin is used internally for three functions, LNB and IC power supply, voltage detection and tone
detection. The IC’s is self powering via an internal regulator which utilizes the 13~17V control voltage from the
satellite receiver. The regulated voltage is used to supply the IC and is also outputted to the VOUT pin to provide the
power supply for the remaining element of the LNB such as the IF amplifiers. The 13~17V from the receiver is feed
via a tight tolerance voltage detector with integrated filtering which removes unwanted signals or interference. The
results from the detectors output enables one of 2 bias circuits to turn one of either Fet1 or FET2 on. The internal
tone detector allows the device to detect the 22kHz tone which is superimposed on the LNB power line (13~17V
signal), this is achieved with no external filtering components. The tone detector rejects all unwanted signals
including transients from other parts of the LNB system. The tone detector controls a drive circuits which powers and
one of two oscillators, normally used to switch between low and high band in universal applications. The functional
table below shows the operation of the FET and Mixer bias, oscillator output and the LNB power supply.
