Single Output LNB Supply and Control
Voltage Regulator with I2C Interface for
Advanced Satellite Set-top Box Designs
The ISL6421A is a highly integrated solution for providing
power and control signals from advanced satellite set-top
box (STB) modules to the low noise block (LNB). The
internal architecture of this device contains a current-mode
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.
A regulated output voltage is available at the output terminal
(VOUT) to support the operation of the antenna port in
advanced satellite STB applications. The regulated output
may be set to either 13V or 18V by use of the voltage select
command bit (VSEL) through the I2C bus. Additionally, to
compensate for the voltage drop in the coaxial cable, the
voltage may be increased by 1V with the line length
compensation bit (LLC) feature. The device can be put into a
standby mode by means of the enable bit (EN), this disables
the PWM and Linear regulator combination and helps
conserve power.
The input to the linear regulator is derived from the current
mode boost converter, such that the required voltage is the
sum of the output voltage and the linear regulator drop (1.0V
typical). This ensures that the power dissipation is minimized
and maintains a constant voltage drop across the linear pass
element, while permitting an adequate voltage range for tone
injection.
The device is capable of providing 450mA (typical). The
overcurrent limit is either digitally or resistor programmable.

Functional Description
The ISL6421A is a single output voltage regulator controlled
by an I2C bus, making it an ideal choice for advanced
satellite set-top box and personal video recorder
applications. Both supply and control voltage outputs for a
low noise block (LNB) are available simultaneously in any
output configuration. The device utilizes a built-in DC/DC
step-converter which, from a single supply source ranging
from 8V to 14V, generates the voltage that enables the linear
post-regulator to work with a minimum of dissipated power.
An undervoltage lockout circuit disables the circuit when
VCC drops below a fixed threshold (7.5V typ).
DiSEqC Encoding
The internal oscillator is factory-trimmed to provide a tone of
22kHz in accordance with DiSeqC standards. No further
adjustment is required. The 22kHz oscillator can be
controlled either by the I2C interface (ENT bit) or by a
dedicated pin (DSQIN) that allows immediate DiSEqC data
encoding for the LNB. All the functions of this IC are
controlled via the I2C bus by writing to the system registers
(SR). The same registers can be read back, and two bits will
report the diagnostic status. The internal oscillator operates
the converters at ten times the tone frequency. The device
offers full I2C compatible functionality, 3.3V or 5V, and up to
400kHz operation.
If the Tone Enable (ENT) bit is set LOW through I2C, then
the DSQIN terminal activates the internal tone signal,
modulating the dc output with a 0.3V, 22kHz, symmetrical
waveform. The presence of this signal usually gives the LNB
information about the band to be received.
Burst coding of the 22kHz tone can be accomplished due to
the fast response of the DSQIN input and rapid tone
response. This allows implementation of the DiSEqC
(EUTELSAT) protocols.
When the ENT bit is set HIGH, a continuous 22kHz tone is
generated regardless of the DSQIN pin logic status. The
6
ENT bit must be set LOW when the DSQIN pin is used for
DiSEqC encoding.
Linear Regulator
The output linear regulator will sink and source current. This
feature allows full modulation capability into capacitive loads
as high as 0.25µF. In order to minimize the power
dissipation, the output voltage of the internal step-up
converter is adjusted to allow the linear regulator to work at
minimum dropout.
When the device is put in the shutdown mode (EN = LOW),
the PWM power block is disabled. When the regulator block
is active (EN = HIGH), the output can be logic controlled to
be 13V or 18V (typical) by means of the VSEL bit (Voltage
Select) for remote controlling of non-DiSEqC LNBs.
Additionally, it is possible to increment by 1V (typical) the
selected voltage value to compensate for the excess voltage
drop along the coaxial cable (LLC bit HIGH).
Output Timing
The programmed output voltage rise and fall times can be
set by an external capacitor. The output rise and fall times
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. Using a 0.47µF capacitor
insures the PWM stays below its overcurrent threshold when
charging a 120µF VSW filter cap during the worst case 13V
to 19V transition. A typical value of 1.0µF is recommended.
This feature affects the programmed voltage rise and fall
times.
Current Limiting
The current limiting block can operate either statically
(simple current clamp) or dynamically. The threshold is
between 500mA and 625mA. When the DCL (Dynamic
Current Limiting) bit is set to LOW, the overcurrent protection
circuit works dynamically. That is, as soon as an overload is
detected, the output is shut down for a time TOFF, typically
FN9167.3
March 9, 2006
ISL6421A
900ms. Simultaneously the overload flag (OLF) bit of the
system register is set to HIGH. After this time has elapsed,
the output is resumed for a time TON = 20ms. During TON,
the device output will be current limited to between 500mA
and 625mA. At the end of TON, if the overload is still
detected, the protection circuit will cycle again through TOFF
and TON. At the end of a full TON, during which no overload
is detected, normal operation is resumed and the OLF bit is
reset to LOW. Typical TON + TOFF time is 920ms as
determined by an internal timer. This dynamic operation can
greatly reduce the power dissipation in a short circuit
condition, still ensuring excellent power-on start-up in most
conditions.
However, there could be some cases in which a highly
capacitive load on the output may cause a difficult start-up,
when the dynamic protection is chosen. This can be solved
by initiating a power start-up in static mode (DCL = HIGH)
and then switching to the dynamic mode (DCL = LOW) after
a chosen amount of time. When in static mode, the OLF bit
goes HIGH when the current clamp limit is reached and
returns LOW when the overload condition is cleared. The
OLF bit will be LOW at the end of initial power-on soft-start.
The static mode limit serves only to limit the peak current
through the switching FET and cannot precisely set an
average current limit. The sense resistor is calculated by the
equation

I2C Bus Interface for ISL6421A
(Refer to Philips I2C Specification, Rev. 2.1)
Data transmission from the main microprocessor to the
ISL6421A and vice versa takes place through the 2 wires
I2C bus interfaces, which consists of the two lines SDA and
SCL. Both SDA and SCL are bidirectional lines, connected
to a positive supply voltage via a pull up resistor. (Pull up
resistors to positive supply voltage must be externally
connected). When the bus is free, both lines are HIGH. The
output stage of ISL6421A will have an open drain/open
collector in order to perform the wired-AND function. Data on
the I2C bus can be transferred up to 100kbits/s in the
standard-mode or up to 400kbits/s in the fast-mode. The
level of logic “0” and logic “1” is dependent of associated
value of Vdd as per electrical specification table. One clock
pulse is generated for each data bit transferred.
Data Validity
The data on the SDA line must be stable during the HIGH
period of the clock. The HIGH or LOW state of the data line
can only change when the clock signal on the SCL line is
LOW. Refer to Figure 1.

where IPK is the peak current through the FET. This value
should be greater that the normal operating peak current.
Thermal Resistance
This IC is protected against overheating. When the junction
temperature exceeds 150°C (typical), the step-up converter
and the linear regulator are shut off and the overtemp flag
(OTF) bit of the SR is set HIGH. Normal operation is
resumed and the OTF bit is reset LOW, when the junction is
cooled down to 130°C (typical).
External Output Voltage Selection
The output voltage can be selected by the I2C bus.
Additionally, the QFN package offers a pin (SEL18V) for
independent 13V/18V output voltage selection. When using
this pin, the I2C bits should be initialized to 13V status.
FIGURE 1. DATA VALIDITY
START and STOP Conditions
As shown in the Figure 2, START condition is a HIGH to
LOW transition of the SDA line, while SCL is HIGH. The
STOP condition is a LOW to HIGH transition on the SDA
line, while SCL is HIGH. A STOP condition must be sent
before each START condition.

ISL6421A
Received Data (I2C Bus Read Mode)
Power-On I2C Interface Reset
The ISL6421A can provide to the master a copy of the
System Register information via the I2C bus in read mode.
The read mode is Master activated by sending the chip
address with R/W bit set to 1. At the following Master
generated clock bits, the ISL6421A issues a byte on the
SDA data bus line (MSB transmitted first).
The I2C interface built into the ISL6421A is automatically
reset at power-on. The I2C interface block will receive a
Power OK logic signal from the UVLO circuit. This signal will
go HIGH when chip power is OK. As long as this signal is
LOW, the interface will not respond to any I2C commands
and the system register SR is initialized to all zeros, thus
keeping the power blocks disabled.
At the ninth clock bit the MCU master can:
• Acknowledge the reception, starting in this way the
transmission of another byte from the ISL6421A.
• Not acknowledge, stopping the read mode
communication.
While the whole register is read back by the microprocessor,
only the two read-only bits, OLF and OTF, convey diagnostic
information about the ISL6421A.

interface becomes operative and the SR can be configured
by the main microprocessor. About 400mV of hysteresis is
provided in the UVLO threshold to avoid false triggering of
the Power-On reset circuit.
Connecting this pin to GND forces the chip I2C interface
address to 0001000; applying a voltage >2.7V forces the
address to 0001001, as shown below.
