Single Output LNB Supply and Control
Voltage Regulator with I2C Interface for
Advanced Satellite Set-Top Box Designs
The ISL6423B is a highly integrated voltage regulator and
interface IC, specifically designed for supplying power and
control signals from advanced satellite set-top box (STB)
modules to the low noise blocks (LNBs) of singe antenna
ports. The device consists of a current-mode boost PWM
and a low-noise linear regulator along with the circuitry
required for 22kHz tone generation, modulation and I2C
device interface. The device makes the total LNB supply
design simple, efficient and compact with low external
component count.
The current-mode boost converters provides the linear
regulator with input voltage that is set to the final output
voltages, plus typically 0.8V to insure minimum power
dissipation across each linear regulator. This maintains
constant voltage drop across the linear pass element while
permitting adequate voltage range for tone injection.
The final regulated output voltage is available at output
terminals to support the operation of an antenna port for
single tuners. The outputs for each PWM can be controlled
in two ways, full control from I2C using the VTOP and VBOT
bits or set the I2C to the lower range i.e., 13V/14V, and
switch to higher range i.e., 18V/19V, with the SELVTOP pin.
All the functions on this IC are controlled via the I2C bus by
writing 8 bits words onto the System Registers (SR). The
same register can be read back, and five I2C bits will report
the diagnostic status. Separate enable command sent on the
I2C bus provides for standby mode control for the PWM and
linear combination, disabling the output and forcing a shutdown
mode. The output channel is capable of providing 750mA of
continuous current. The overcurrent limit can be digitally
programmed to four levels.
The External modulation input EXTM can accept a
modulated Diseqc command and transfer it symmetrically to
the output. Alternatively the EXTM pin can be used to
modulate the continuos internal tone.
The FLT pin serves as an interrupt for the processor when
any condition turns OFF the LNB controller (Over
Temperature, Overcurrent, Disabled). The nature of the
Disable can be read of the I2C registers.

FUNCTION
SDA
Bidirectional data from/to I2C bus.
SCL
Clock from I2C bus.
VSW

PGND
CS
Dedicated ground for the output gate driver of respective PWM.
Current sense input; connect the sense resistor Rsc at this pin for desired peak overcurrent value for the boost FET. The

SGND
Small signal ground for the IC.
TCAP
Capacitor for setting rise and fall time of the output voltage. Typical value is 0.1µF.
BYPASS

TXT
TXT is the Tone Transmit signal input used to change the Tone Decoder Threshold from TXT = 0, 200mV max during
Receive to TXT = 1, 400mV min during Transmit.
VCC
Main power supply to the chip.
GATE
This output drives the boost FET gate. The output is held low when VCC is below the UVLO threshold.
VO
ADDR0 & ADDR1
Output voltage for the LNB is available at VO pin.
Logic combination at the ADDR0 & 1 can select four different chip select addresses.
EXTM
This pin can be used in two ways:
1) As an input for externally modulated Diseqc tone signal which is transferred to the symmetrically onto VOUT
2) Alternatively apply a Diseqc modulation envelope which modulates an internal tone and then transfers it symmetrically
onto VOUT
FLT
This is an Open Drain output from the controller. When the FLT goes low it indicates that an Over Temperature, Over load
fault, UVLO, or an I2C reset condition has occurred. The processor should then look at the I2C register to get the actual
cause of the error. A high on the FLT indicates that the device is functioning normally.
CPVOUT, CPSWIN
CPSWOUT
A 47n charge pump decoupling capacitor is to be connected to CPVOUT. Connect a 1.5n capacitor between CPSWIN and
CPSWOUT
SELVTOP
When this pin is low the VOUT is in the 13V, 14V range selected by the I2C bit VBOT.
When this pin is high the 18V, 19V range selected by the I2C bit VTOP. The Voltage select pin enable VSPEN I2C bit must
be set low for the SELVTOP pins to be active. Setting VSPEN high disables this pins and voltage selection will be done
using the I2C bits VBOT and VTOP only.

Functional Description
Linear Regulator
The ISL6423B single output voltage regulator makes an
ideal choice for advanced satellite set-top box and personal
video recorder applications. The device utilizes built-in
DC/DC step up converters that, operates from a single
supply source ranging from 8V to 14V, and generates the
voltage needed to enable the linear post-regulator to work
with a minimum of dissipated power. An undervoltage
lockout circuit disables the device when VCC drops below a
fixed threshold (7.5V typ).
The output linear regulator will sink and source current. This
feature allows full modulation capability into capacitive loads
as high as 0.75μF. 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.
DiSEqC Encoding
The internal oscillator is factory-trimmed to provide a tone of
22kHz in accordance with DiSEqC (EUTELSAT) standards.
No further adjustment is required. The tone oscillator can be
controlled either by the I2C interface (ENT bit) or by a
dedicated pin (EXTM) that allows immediate DiSEqC data
encoding separately for each LNB. All the functions of this IC
are controlled via the I2C bus by writing to the system
registers. The same registers can be read back, and four bits
will report the diagnostic status. The internal oscillator
operates the converters at twenty times the 22k tone
frequency. The device offers full I2C compatibility, and
supports 2.5V, 3.3V or 5V logic, up to an operational speed of
400kHz.
If the Tone Enable (ENT) bit is set LOW and the MSEL bits
set LOW through I2C, then the EXTM terminal activates the
internal tone signal, modulating the DC output with a
680mVPP typical symmetrical tone waveform. The presence
of this signal usually provides the LNB with information
about the band to be received.
Burst coding of the tone can be accomplished due to the fast
response of the EXTM 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 EXTM pin logic status for the
regulator channel LNB-A. The ENT bit must be set LOW
when the EXTM pin is used for DiSEqC encoding.
The EXTM accepts an externally modulated tone command
when the MSEL I2C bit is set HIGH and ENT is set LOW.
DiSEqC Decoder
TDIN is the input to the tone decoder. It accepts and the tone
signal derived from the VOUT thru the 10nF decoupling
capacitor. The detector threshold can be set to 200mV max
in the Receive mode and to 400mV min in the Transmit
mode by means of the logic presented to the TXT pin. If tone
is detected the open drain pin TDOUT is asserted low. This
enables the tone diagnostics to be performed, apart from the
normal tone detection function.

When the device is put in the shutdown mode (EN = LOW),
the PWM power block is disabled. When the regulator blocks
are active (EN = HIGH and VSPEN = LOW), the output can
be controlled via I2C logic to be 13V/14V or 18V/19V
(typical) by means of the VTOP and VBOT bits (Voltage
Select) for remote controlling of non-DiSEqC LNBs.
When the regulator blocks are active (EN = HIGH and
VSPEN = HIGH), the VBOT and SELVTOP pin will control
the output between 13V and 14V and the VTOP and
SELVTOP pin will control the output between 18V and 19V.
Output Timing
The output voltage rise and fall times can be set by an the
external capacitor on the TCAP pin. The output rise and fall
times is given by the equation:
327.6T
C = ------------------ΔV
(EQ. 1)
Where C is the TCAP value in nF, T is the required transition
time in ms and ΔV is the differential transition voltage from
low output voltage range to the high output range in Volts.
The maximum recommended value for TCAP is 0.15µF. Too
large a value of TCAP prevents the output from rising to the
nominal value, within the soft-start time when the error
amplifier is released. Too small a value of the TCAP can cause
high peak currents in the boost circuit. For example, a 10V/ms
slew on a 80µF VSW capacitor with an inductor of 15µH can
cause a peak inductor current of approximately 2.3A.
Current Limiting
Dynamic current limiting block has four thresholds that can
be selected by the ISEL H and ISEL L bits of the SR. Refer
to Table 8 and Table 9 for threshold selection using these
bits. The DCL bit has to be set to low for this mode of
operation. In the dynamic overcurrent mode a fault
exceeding the selected overcurrent threshold for a period
greater than 51ms, will shutdown the output for 900ms,
during which the I2C bit OLF is set high. At the end of 900ms
the OLF bit is returned to the low state, a soft-start cycle
(~20ms long) is initiated to ramp VSW and VOUT back up. If
the fault is still present the overcurrent will be reached early
in the soft-start cycle and the 51ms shutdown timer will be
started again. If the fault is still present at the end of the
51ms, the OLF bit is again set high and the device once
again enters the 900ms OFF time. This dynamic operation
greatly reduces the power dissipation in a short circuit
condition, while 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 selected. This can be solved
by initiating any power start-up in static mode (DCL = HIGH)
and then switching to the dynamic mode (DCL = LOW) after
a predetermined interval. When in static mode, the OLF bit
goes HIGH when the current clamp limit is reached and
returns LOW at the end of initial power-on soft-start. In the
Static mode the output current through the linears is limited to
a 990mA typ.
When a 19.3V line is connected onto a VOUT1 or 2 that has
been set to 13.3V the linear will then enter a back current
limited state. When a back current of greater than 140mA
typical is sensed at the lower FET of the linear for a period
greater that 2ms the output is disabled for a period of 50ms
and the BCF bit is set. If the 19.3V remains connected, the
output will cycle through the ON = 2ms/OFF = 50ms. The
output will return to the setpoint when the fault is removed.
BCF bit is set high during the 50ms OFF period.
Thermal Protection
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 OTF bit of the
SR is set HIGH. When the junction is cooled down to +130°C
(typical), normal operation is resumed and the OTF bit is
reset LOW. If a part is repeatedly driven to the overtemp
shutdown temperature the chip is latched off after the fourth
occurrence and the I2C OTF bit is latched high and FLT_bar
low. This OTF counter and FLT_bar can be reset and the
chip restarted by either a power down/up and reload the I2C
or power can be left on and the reset accomplished by
toggling the I2C bit EN low then back high.
I2C Bus Interface for ISL6423B
(Refer to Philips I2C Specification, Rev. 2.1)
Data transmission from main microprocessor to the ISL6423B
and vice versa takes place through the two wire I2C bus
interface, consisting 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 stages of ISL6423B 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 100Kbps
in the standard-mode or up to 400Kbps 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 4.

External Output Voltage Selection
When the I2C bit VSPEN is set high the output voltage can
be selected by the I2C bus. Additionally, the package offers
the pin SELVTOP for independent 13 thru 19V output
voltage selection., when the VSPEN bit is set low. A
summary of the voltage control is given in Table 1. For
further details refer to the individual registers SR1 and SR3
As shown in Figure 5, 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.

ISL6423B Software Description
Byte Format
Every byte put on the SDA line must be eight bits long. The
number of bytes that can be transmitted per transfer is
unrestricted. Each byte has to be followed by an
acknowledge bit. Data is transferred with the most significant
bit first (MSB).
Acknowledge
The master (microprocessor) puts a resistive HIGH level on
the SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse (Figure 6).
The peripheral that acknowledges has to pull down (LOW)
the SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse, so that the
SDA line is stable LOW during this clock pulse. (Of course,
set-up and hold times must also be taken into account.)
The peripheral which has been addressed has to generate
an acknowledge after the reception of each byte, otherwise
the SDA line remains at the HIGH level during the ninth
clock pulse time. In this case, the master transmitter can
generate the STOP information in order to abort the transfer.
The ISL6423B will not generate the acknowledge if the
POWER OK signal from the UVLO is LOW.
Interface Protocol
The interface protocol is comprised of the following, as
shown below in Table 2:
• A start condition (S)
• A chip address byte (MSB on left; the LSB bit determines
read (1) or write (0) transmission) (the assigned I2C slave
address for the ISL6423B is 0001 0XXX)
• A sequence of data (1 byte + Acknowledge)
• A stop condition (P)

Received Data (I2C bus READ MODE)
ADDR0 and ADDR1 Pins
The ISL6423B 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 ISL6423B issues a byte on the
SDA data bus line (MSB transmitted first).
Connecting these pin to GND the chip I2C interface address
is 0001000, but, it is possible to choose between four
different addresses by setting these pins to the logic levels
indicated in Table 11.
At the ninth clock bit the MCU master can:
• Acknowledge the reception, starting in this way the
transmission of another byte from the ISL6423B.
• Not acknowledge, stopping the read mode
communication.
The read only bits of the register SR1 convey diagnostic
information about the ISL6423B, as indicated in the Table 7.

Power–On I2C Interface Reset
The I2C interface built into the ISL6423B 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 SR1 thru SR4 are all initialized to all zero,
thus keeping the power blocks disabled. Once the VCC rises
above UVLO, the POWER OK signal to the I2C is asserted
high, and the I2C interface becomes operative and the SR’s
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. (I2C comes up with
EN = 0; EN goes HIGH at the same time as (or later than) all
other I2C data for that PWM becomes valid).
