Introduction
Communication Satellite Frequency Allocation
Communication satellites operate within two frequency
bands for TV/Broadband service broadcast signals, C Band
and Ku Band. The C Band overall frequency spectrum is
4.0GHz -8.0GHz, while the Ku Band overall frequency
spectrum is 11.7GHz -18.0GHz.
Within these bands each satellite will have specific uplink
and downlink frequency allocation. For example the North
American DBS system has categories assigned as follows,
Ku Band high power downlink is 12.2GHz-12.7GHz and
17.3GHz-17.8GHz as the uplink frequency, C Band downlink
frequency is 3.7GHz -4.2GHz and 5.925GHz -6.425GHz as
uplink frequency.
Also, to use the frequencies that are available for satellite
broadcast as efficiently as possible, and to accommodate an
additional number of channels within a given frequency
band, the transmission signal can be formatted to be either
vertical and horizontal, or circular right-hand and circular lefthand simultaneously per frequency.
What is a Low Noise Block (LNB)?
An LNB is a low noise block module, placed on the focus of
the dish antenna (parabola) that provides the following
functions:
• Down conversion of the incoming signal from GHz range
to the 910MHz-2150MHz (for Europe) range called “first
conversion signal.” This conversion allows the signal to be
carried by an inexpensive coaxial cable towards the
receiver.
• Signal amplification with good noise figure. The LNB
improves the first conversion signal level through the use
of a built-in low noise amplifier.
• Selection of Vertical or Horizontal polarization.
• Selects operating band by switching its internal oscillator
from Low band to High band when the LNB “receives” a
22kHz tone. Specifically, the local oscillator (LO)
frequency changes from 9.75GHz to 10.6GHz.
C Band - LO frequency 9.75GHz
Ku Band - LO frequency 10.6GHz
• Miscellaneous functions based on 22kHz tone PPM
encoding, as discussed later in this paper.
AN1083.1
(right-hand or left-hand). Consequently, the satellite can
broadcast both H and V or LH and RH polarized signals on
one frequency.
The “universal” LNB switches the polarization by looking at
the voltage that it receives from the receiver.
12V – Horizontal, 18V – Vertical
13V – Circular right-hand, 20V – Circular left-hand
Generally, only two (12V and 18V or 13V and 20V) will be
used with one type of antenna. Also, 1V can be added from
a receiver to any of above voltages to compensate for the
voltage drop in the coaxial cable, i.e., it could be 13V (12V),
14V (13V), 19V (18V) or 21V (20V) instead.
22kHz Tone and DiSEqC (Digital Satellite
Equipment Control) Encoding
In addition to selecting the polarization, the LNB needs to
select the operating band. This is done with the use of a
22kHz tone frequency. A 22kHz pulse-position modulated
signal of about 0.6V amplitude is superimposed on the
LNB’s DC power rail. Its coding scheme allows the remote
electronics to perform more complex functions like varying
the down conversion frequency to select one of multiple
LNB’s for dual-dish systems or physically rotating the
antenna assembly. Traditionally, when other encoding
functions do not require using 22kHz tone, simple presence
or absence of this tone selects the operating band by
changing the local oscillator frequency of the LNB.
The complex encoding of the 22kHz burst is done with a
more sophisticated communication bus protocol named the
DiSEqC standard (Digital Satellite Equipment Control). The
open DiSEqC standard developed by the European
Telecommunication Satellite Organization is a well accepted
worldwide standard for communication between satellite
receivers and satellite peripheral equipment.
The 22kHz oscillator has to be a tone generator with specific
rise and fall time. The wave shape will be a quasi-square
wave (sine with flat-top). The required frequency tolerance is
±2kHz over line and temperature variations. Burst coding of
this signal is accomplished by input from the microcontroller
at the DSQIN pin of the IC or by setting the ENT bit of the
system register through the I2C bus as detailed in the
ISL6421, ISL6425 datasheets.
22kHz WAVE SHAPE AND DETAILS (See Figures 1 and 2)
Polarization Selection
Polarization is a way to give a transmission signal specific
direction. It increases the beam concentration. The signal
transmitted by satellite can be polarized in one of four
different ways: Linear (horizontal or vertical) or Circular

CONTROL SIGNAL
To fully test the ISL6421/ISL6425 functionality, the following
equipment is needed:
• 4 channel oscilloscope with probes
• 1 electronic load
ISL6421/ISL6425 - Provides a Complete
Power Solution for LNB Control
• 2 bench power supplies
The ISL6421/ISL6425 is a highly integrated solution for
supplying power and control signals from advanced satellite
set-top box (STB) modules to the low noise block (LNB) of
the antenna port. The devices are comprised of a currentmode boost PWM and a low-noise linear regulator along
with the circuitry required for I2C device interfacing and for
providing DiSEqC standard control signals to the LNB.
• I2C bus read/write capability
The regulator output voltage is available at the output
terminal (VOUT) to support operation of the antenna port in
advanced satellite STBs. The regulator output for the PWM
is set to 13V or 18V by a voltage select command (VSEL)
through the I2C bus. Additionally, to compensate for the
voltage drop in the coaxial cable, the selected voltage may
be increased by 1V with the line length compensation (LLC)
feature. An enable command sent on the I2C bus provides
standby mode control for the PWM and linear combination,
disabling the output to conserve power.
The current-mode boost converter provides the linear
regulator with input voltage that is set to the output voltage,
plus typically 1.2V dropout to insure minimum power
dissipation across the linear regulator. This maintains
constant voltage drop across the linear pass element while
permitting adequate voltage range for tone injection.
Please refer to the ISL6421 datasheet (FN9130), or ISL6425
datasheet (FN9176), for more information.

• Precision digital multimeters
Power and Load Connections
The ISL6421/ISL6425 evaluation board has three sets of
terminal posts used to supply the input voltages and to
monitor and load the outputs.
Jumper Settings ISL6421 - JP1, JP2, and JP3 will be
shorted with shunt jumpers pulling the ADDR, SEL18V, and
the DISQIN pins low.
Jumper Settings ISL6425 - JP1, JP2 short VIN supply to V1
and Q1. JP3 short to set ADDRs low.
Input Voltage - Adjust two power supplies to provide the
5V/3.3V and 12V input voltages of the evaluation board.
With the power supplies turned off, connect the positive lead
of the 12V supply to the VIN post (P1) and the ground lead
to the GND post (P2).
The second supply set for either 5V or 3.3V provides the
pull-up voltage for the I2C bus clock and data line. Connect
the positive lead of the second supply to the +5V/+3.3V post
(P7)/ISL6421 or (P5)/ISL6425 and the ground lead to the
SGND post (P8)/ISL6421 or (P6)/ISL6425.
Output Voltage Loading and Monitoring - To exercise
and monitor VOUT, connect the positive lead of one of the
electronic loads and the positive lead of a digital multimeter
to the VOUT post (P3) and the ground lead to the GND
post (P4).

I2C Bus Communication Setup
To control and exercise the ISL6421/ISL6425 requires
communication through the I2C bus clock (SCL) and data
(SDA) pins. Refer to the ISL6421, ISL6425 datasheets for
more information about the I2C bus specification. You can
use existing I2C hardware/software, a word generator, or
use the PC to I2C hardware/software included in the
ISL6421/ISL6425 evaluation kit to produce the necessary
I2C waveforms.
USB-I2CIO Board Driver Installation - To use a PC to
control the I2C bus to communicate with the
ISL6421/ISL6425 you will have to install the drivers of the
USB-I2CIO board included in the kit. You will need a
Windows 98/XP/2000 machine with a standard USB port.
10. If you receive a ‘No USB Device Detected’ error:
• Make sure the drivers were installed correctly. If
Windows did not detect your USB device, try running
the Add/Remove Hardware Wizard in the control panel.
• Make sure the USB board is powered up (internally or
externally, not both).
11. If you receive the ‘Incorrect Return Value’ error:
• The ISL6421/ISL6425 evaluation board may not be
powered up. Check the power connections.
• Make sure SCL and SDA are connected correctly. The
5-pin connector to the USB-I2CIO board only fits one
way. Try reversing the 4-pin connector at J1 of the
ISL6421/ISL6425 evaluation board.
1. The evaluation kit comes with a CD containing the
software and drivers to control the I2C bus. Copy the
contents of the CD to some directory, e.g., C:\’some
directory’.
2. Applying power to the USB-I2CIO board: The USB-I2CIO
board has the option of being powered with 3.3V through
the USB bus of the PC or externally with 5V connected to
the +5 test point and GND test point. The I2C bus can
operate at 3.3V or 5V logic levels. If you use an external
5V supply then place a shunt jumper shorting pins 2 and
3 of JP3. If you are using an external 5V supply to power
the USB-I2CIO board, place a shunt jumper shorting pins
1 and 2 of JP3.
3. After the USB-I2CIO board is powered up, connect the
USB cable to the USB port of a PC.
4. Windows should detect the new USB device and the
‘Found New Hardware Wizard’ should begin. This will
help you install the drivers. Follow the directions on the
screen until it asks you where to search for the drivers. At
this point, you should select the ‘choose location’ option
and browse to the C:\’some directory’ created in step one
and select the drivers folder.
5. Follow the remaining directions and the driver should be
installed and the USB-I2CIO detected by your PC.
6. If this is successful, another ‘Found New Hardware
Wizard’ window will appear. Repeat steps 4 and 5. At this
point, the USB-I2CIO board should be ready to use.
7. To connect the USB-I2CIO board to the ISL6421/ISL6425
evaluation board, use the 5-pin to 4-pin connector cable.
Connect the 5-pin connector to J4 on the USB-I2CIO
board and the 4-pin connector to J1 on the
ISL6421/ISL6425 evaluation board.
8. Turn on the power supplies to power up the
ISL6421/ISL6425 evaluation board.
9. Run the ISL6421&25_I2C_reva.exe program copied to
C:\’some directory’. Figure 3 shows the PC to I2C
software application window. Click the ‘Open Device’
button.

Using the PC to I2C Application
After opening the application window and clicking on the
‘Open Device’ button, the program will detect the USB-I2CIO
board and initialize the I2C system registers of the
ISL6421/ISL6425. To evaluate the ISL6421/ISL6425
functionality, toggle the system register bits as needed and
then click on the ‘Write I2C’ button to write to the system
registers. The lower portion of the application window shows
the current values of the system register bits. They are read
and updated continuously. The OLF1 and OTF flag in
system register 1 and 2 are read only bits and provide
diagnostic status of the ISL6421/ISL6425.

DiSEqC Implementation
The ISL6421/ISL6425 has a built-in 22kHz tone generator
that can be controlled either by the I2C interface or by a
dedicated pin (DSQIN) that allows immediate DiSEqC data
encoding for the DiSEqC compliance. When the I2C tone
enable bit (ENT) is set to HIGH, a continuous 22kHz tone is
generated regardless of the status of the DSQIN pin. The
ENT pin must be LOW when DSQIN pin is being used for
DiSEqC encoding. Figure 7 shows the 22kHz tone waveform
with 450mA load.

FIGURE 10. OUTPUT RIPPLE
When the DCL (dynamic current limiting) bit is set LOW, the
overcurrent protection circuit works dynamically in a hiccup
mode; as soon as an overload is detected, the output is
shutdown for a time tOFF, typically 900ms. The output is
resumed for a time tON = 20ms. At the end of tON, if the
overload condition is still detected, the protection circuit will
cycle again through tOFF and tON. Figure 9 shows the typical
waveforms for the overcurrent hiccup mode.
External Back-Bias Protection
Some applications may need to be able to protect the
ISL6421/ISL6425 from an inadvertent back-bias voltage
condition. For the case where a DC supply is connected to
the output of the ISL6421/ISL6425, a series connected diode
as shown in Figure 11 will protect the IC. The LLC bit can be
set high through the I2C bus to increase the output voltage
by 1V to compensate for the diode voltage drop.

FIGURE 9. OVERCURRENT HICCUP MODE
The DiSEqC standard recommends a maximum bus load of
0.25µF. For the circuit in Figure 11 to provide proper 22kHz
tone operation, the bus would have to have a minimum
loading of 12mA.
If tone operation is required at zero load conditions, a
resistor can be placed from the cathode of the protection
diode to ground, scaled to provide the minimum 12mA. To
avoid the added dissipation of this method, a capacitor can
be placed in parallel with the back-bias protection diode as
shown in Figure 12. This capacitor should be scaled with the
capacitive load present on the DiSEqC bus line. For a load of
0.25µF, use a 10µF capacitor. Consider the maximum load
of 0.25µF and the highest output voltage of 19V and a 0.5V
drop across the Schottky diode. After the tone rise time,
Qd(rise)~0, Qload(rise) = 19V*0.25µF = 4750nC

A capacitor connected to the TCAP pin sets the transition

recommended for smooth transition with reduced peak
currents. Figure 14 shows the transition time versus
capacitor value.
FIGURE 12. DC BACK-BIAS PROTECTION CIRCUIT FOR
ZERO LOAD CONDITION
Figure 13 shows the tone mode operation at the cathode of
the protection diode in a zero load condition and the
charging current between CD and CLOAD. Large current
transients may occur from a fast dV/dt created if a DC supply
were connected to the output of the ISL6421/ISL6425,
therefore, to use the circuit in Figure 13, the DC supply
would have to be limited to 1A maximum current during the
dV/dt voltage transient to fully protect the IC.
ICLOAD 20mA/DIV

RISE/FALL TIME (ms)
During the tone fall time, the capacitors are essentially in
series so the charge will try to equally distribute between CD
and CLOAD. CLOAD will discharge allowing current to flow to
CD to match the falling voltage at the anode of the diode.
You will have to choose a capacitor, CD, that is large enough
to absorb the CLOAD discharging current and to minimize
the voltage drop created during the minimum tone fall time
specification, 5µs. A good choice would be to use a
capacitor for CD that is 40 times the value of CLOAD.

The programmable output voltage rise and fall times can be

will be approximately 3400 times the TCAP value. For the
recommended range of 0.47µF to 2.2µF, the rise and fall
time would be 1.6ms to 7.6ms. Use of a 0.47µF capacitor
insures the PWM will stay below its overcurrent threshold
when charging a 120µF VSW filter cap during the worst case
13V to 19V transition. This feature only affects the turn-on
and programmed voltage rise and fall times. Figure 15

where Vsense is 200mV typical (see datasheet specification

the RSC value is always lower than the VSENSE/IPEAK ratio.
For the typical application conditions (VCC = 12V, IOUT
(max) = 450mA) a 100mΩ RSC value is a good choice.
If VIN < 10.5V the inductor peak current can be close to 2A,
then, it is necessary to decrease the RSC value.
Output Capacitors
The most important parameter for the output capacitors is
effective series resistance (ESR). The output ripple is
directly proportional to output capacitor ESR value.
A 68µF or less aluminum electrolytic output filter capacitor
with ESR lower than 80mΩ in parallel with a 470nF ceramic
capacitor is a good choice in most application conditions.
The ceramic capacitor is necessary to reduce the high
frequency switching noise.
A high output capacitance and low ESR will strongly reduce
the output ripple voltage and output switching noise and will
improve efficiency. Use the lowest possible ESR capacitor
for best performance.
The maximum value output capacitor is restricted by
transition time specifications between 13V to 18V. With a
high output capacitor the boost circuit will need higher peak
current from input supply to make transition from 13V to 18V
in a given transition time as set by TCAP value. Figure 14
shows the TCAP capacitor value versus transition time. Use
high TCAP capacitor value for high output capacitors to
allow sufficient time to charge the output capacitors in
maximum load conditions.
The capacitor’s voltage rating should be at least 35V, but
higher voltage electrolytic capacitors generally have lower

Layout Guidelines
Just like all switching power supplies, a proper PC board
layout is very important for a single channel
ISL6421/ISL6425 based power supply implementation.
Protect sensitive analog grounds by using a star ground
configuration. Also, minimize lead lengths to reduce stray
capacitance, trace resistance, and radiated noise. Minimize
ground noise by connecting PGND, the input bypass
capacitor ground lead, and the output filter capacitor ground
lead to a single point. Place bypass capacitors as close as
possible to the BYP pin and PGND and the DC/DC output
capacitor as close as possible to VSW.
Place the TCAP capacitor very close to the IC pins and use
the shortest possible ground return path.
Thermal Design
During normal operation, the ISL6421/ISL6425 dissipates
some power. The power dissipation of the output linear
regulator dominates the total power dissipated in the
7
AN1083.1
May 6, 2005
Application Note 1083
ISL6421/ISL6425. At the maximum rated output current, the
voltage drop on the linear regulator leads to a total
dissipated power that is about 1.2V*750mA = 0.9W. At
350mA maximum current, this power will be 1.2V*350mA =
0.42W. The heat needs to be removed with a heatsink to
keep the junction temperature below the over-temperature
threshold.
The simplest solution is to use a large, continuous copper
area of the ground layer to dissipate the heat. This area can
be the inner ground of multi-layered pcbs, or in a dual layer
pcb, an unbroken ground area on the opposite side of the
board where the IC is placed. In both cases, the thermal path
between the IC ground pins and the dissipating copper area
must exhibit a low thermal resistance.
Conclusion
The ISL6421/ISL6425 voltage regulator makes an ideal
choice for advanced satellite set-top box and personal video
recorder applications. The ISL6421EVAL1A/ISL6425EVAL2
is a complete reference design for providing power and
control functions to the LNB in advanced satellite set-top box
applications.
