Dual Output LNB Supply and Control
Voltage Regulator with I2C Interface for
Advanced Satellite Set-Top Box Designs
The ISL6424 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 two antenna
ports. The device is comprised of two independent currentmode boost PWMs and two low-noise linear regulators 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.

Features
• Single Chip Power Solution
- True Dual Operation for 2-Tuner/2-Dish Applications
- Both Outputs May be Enabled Simultaneously at
Maximum Power
- Integrated DC-DC Converter and I2C Interface
• Switch-Mode Power Converter for Lowest Dissipation
- Boost PWMs with > 92% Efficiency
- Selectable 13V or 18V Outputs
- Digital Cable Length Compensation (1V)
• I2C Compatible Interface for Remote Device Control
- Registered Slave Address 0001 00XX
- Full 3.3V/5V Operation up to 400kHz
Two independent current-mode boost converters provide the
linear regulators with input voltages that are set to the final
output voltages, plus typically 1.2V to insure minimum power
dissipation across each linear regulator. This maintains
constant voltage drops across each linear pass element
while permitting adequate voltage range for tone injection.
• External Pins to Select 13V/18V Option
• DSQIN1&2 and SEL18V1&2 pins 2.5V Logic Compatible
The final regulated output voltages are available at two
output terminals to support simultaneous operation of two
antenna ports for dual tuners. The outputs for each PWM are
set to 13V or 18V by independent voltage select commands
(VSEL1, VSEL2) 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. All the functions on this IC are
controlled via the I2C bus by writing 8 bits on System
Register (SR, 8 bits). The same register can be read back,
and two bits will report the diagnostic status. Separate enable
commands sent on the I2C bus provide independent standby
mode control for each PWM and linear combination, disabling
the output into shutdown mode.
• LNB Short-Circuit Protection and Diagnostics
Each output channel is capable of providing 750mA of
continuous current. The overcurrent limit can be digitally
programmed. The SEL18V pin allows the 13V to 18V
transition with an external pin, overriding the I2C input.
The ISL6424 is offered in a 32 Ld 5x5 QFN.

Functional Description
The ISL6424 dual output voltage regulator makes an ideal
choice for advanced satellite set-top box and personal video
recorder applications. Both supply and control voltage
outputs for two low-noise blocks (LNBs) are available
simultaneously in any output configuration. The device
utilizes built-in DC/DC step-converters that, from a single
supply source ranging from 8V to 14V, generate the voltages
that enable the linear post-regulators 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 (EUTELSAT) standards.
No further adjustment is required. The 22kHz oscillator can be
controlled either by the I2C interface (ENT1/2 bit) or by a
dedicated pin (DSQIN1/2) that allows immediate DiSEqC data
encoding separately for each LNB. (Please see Note 1 at the
end of this section.) All the functions of this IC are controlled
via the I2C bus by writing to the system registers (SR1, SR2).
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 (ENT1/2) bit is set LOW through I2C, then
the DSQIN1/2 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 DSQIN1/2 input and rapid tone
response. This allows implementation of the DiSEqC
(EUTELSAT) protocols.
FN9175.3
September 13, 2005
ISL6424
When the ENT1/2 bit is set HIGH, a continuous 22kHz tone
is generated regardless of the DSQIN1/2 pin logic status for
the corresponding regulator channel (LNB-A or LNB-B). The
ENT1/2 bit must be set LOW when the DSQIN1 and/or
DSQIN2 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 (EN1,
EN2 = LOW), both PWM power blocks are disabled. (i.e.
when EN1 = 0, PWM1 is disabled, and when EN2 = 0,
PWM2 is disabled).
When the regulator blocks are active (EN1, EN2 = 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 (LLC1/2 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 only affects the turn-on and programmed
voltage rise and fall times.
Current Limiting
The current limiting block has two thresholds that can be
selected by the ISEL bit of the SR and can work either
statically (simple current clamp) or dynamically. The lower
threshold is between 425mA and 550mA (ISEL = L), while
the higher threshold is between 775mA and 950mA
(ISEL = H). When the DCL (Dynamic Current Limiting) bit is
set to LOW, the overcurrent protection circuit works
dynamically: as soon as an overload is detected, the output
is shutdown for a time tOFF, typically 900ms. Simultaneously
the 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
425mA min. or 775mA min., depending on the ISEL bits. 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 in 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 any 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 OLF1/2
bit goes HIGH when the current limit threshold at the CS pin
reaches 0.45V typ and returns LOW when the overload
condition is cleared. The OLF1/2 bit will be LOW at the end of
initial power-on soft-start.
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. Normal operation is resumed and the OTF
bit is reset LOW when the junction is cooled down to 135°C
(typical).
In over temperature conditions, the OTF Flag goes HIGH
and the I2C data will be cleared. The user may need to
monitor the I2C enable bits and OTF flag continuously and
enable the chip, if I2C data is cleared. OTF conditions may
also make the OLF flags go HIGH, when high capacitive
loads are present or self-heating conditions occur at higher
loads.
External Output Voltage Selection
The output voltage can be selected by the I2C bus.
Additionally, the package offers two pins (SEL18V1,
SEL18V2) for independent 13V/18V output voltage
selection. When using these pins, the I2C bits should be
initialized to 13V status.

I2C Bus Interface for ISL6424
(Refer to Philips I2C Specification, Rev. 2.1)
Data transmission from main microprocessor to the ISL6424
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 ISL6424 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 2.
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 ISL6424 will not generate the acknowledge if the
POWER OK signal from the UVLO is LOW.

START and STOP Conditions
As shown in Figure 3, 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.
Avoiding detection of the acknowledgement, the
microprocessor can use a simpler transmission; it waits one
clock without checking the slave acknowledging, and sends
the new data.
This approach, though, is less protected from error and
decreases the noise immunity.

The interface protocol is comprised of the following, as
shown below in Table 2:

FIGURE 3. START AND STOP WAVEFORMS
• A chip address byte (MSB on left; the LSB bit determines
read (1) or write (0) transmission) (the assigned I2C slave
address for the ISL6424 is 0001 00XX)
Byte Format
• A sequence of data (1 byte + Acknowledge)
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).
• A stop condition (P)

The master (microprocessor) puts a resistive HIGH level on
the SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse (Figure 4).
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.)

interface will not respond to any I2C commands and the
system register SR1 and SR2 are initialized to all zeros, thus
keeping the power blocks disabled. Once the Vcc rises
above UVLO, the POWER OK signal given to the I2C
interface block will be HIGH, the I2C interface becomes
operative and the SRs can be configured by the main
microprocessor. About 400mV of hysteresis is provided in
the UVLO threshold to avoid false triggering of the PowerOn 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).
Received Data (I2C bus READ MODE)
The ISL6424 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 ISL6424 issues a byte on the SDA data bus line (MSB
transmitted first).
At the ninth clock bit the MCU master can:
• Acknowledge the reception, starting in this way the
transmission of another byte from the ISL6424.
ADDRESS Pin
• Not acknowledge, stopping the read mode
communication.
While the whole register is read back by the microprocessor,
the read-only bits OLF1, OLF2, and OTF convey diagnostic
information about the ISL6424.
Connecting this pin to GND the chip I2C interface address is
0001000, but, it is possible to choose between two different
addresses simply by setting this pin at one of the two fixed
voltage levels as shown in Table 8.
TABLE 6. ADDRESS PIN CHARACTERISTICS
Power-On I2C Interface Reset
The I2C interface built into the ISL6424 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
