STANDARD DBS DUAL CHANNEL VOLTAGE AND TONE DETECTOR
Summary
The ZLNB2016 is a dual channel polarisation (voltage) and band select (tone) detector IC, primarily for satellite applications such
as Low Noise Blocks (LNBs) and satellite distribution systems. An optimised design provides a low supply current and a wide
operating voltage whilst increasing performance and reliability. The ZLNB2016 offers excellent interference rejection with
minimal application cost and packaged in the 3x3mm QFN it provides a very small solution.

Device Description
NEW PRODUCT
The ZLNB2016 dual polarization and tone switch controller is
one of a wide range of satellite receiver LNB support circuits
available from Diodes Incorporated. It features two
completely independent channels, each providing logic
outputs to control LNB polarization selection, local oscillator
selection and down feed disable. It’s intended to be used in
voltage and tone controlled LNBs and satellite distribution
systems, replacing many discrete components to save both
manufacturing cost and PCB size whilst improving reliability.
The ZLNB2016 has been designed to be compatible in low
power consumption LNBs so to improve efficiency it
operates from a single supply of 3V to 8V and has a
quiescent current typically of only 2mA. The quiescent
current does not change significantly with load or logic state.
The two polarization control inputs of the ZLNB2016 have a
nominal threshold of 14.75V and the threshold is guaranteed
over the range of 14.0V to 15.5V. The threshold is
temperature compensated to minimize drift and it also has a
high rejection against the tone signal making the detector
very accurate without the need of further external filtering.
Each features a low and stable input current that enables
transient protection to be achieved with the addition of only a
single resistor per channel. Multi Feed LNBs can be called to
operate with one or more of their controlling receivers
powered down or disconnected, with attendant cable
mismatch problems.
ZLNB2016
Document number: DS32073 Rev. 1 - 2
To ease design for this situation, each polarization input of the
ZLNB2016 has a second threshold set at a nominal of 8V. An
input voltage below this threshold indicates “receiver not
present”, and switches the relevant Ena output low. This logic
output can be used to disable the associated down feed
driver, eliminating any problems due to cable mismatch.
Universal LNB local oscillator selection is achieved by
detection of a low level AC voltage superimposed on the
polarization control voltage. To facilitate this function, the
ZLNB2016 includes a separate tone detector for each
channel. Control of detector bandwidth and sensitivity is
provided using an external resistor and capacitor for each
channel. The tone detector has been designed give excellent
rejection of low frequency control signals and DiSEqC™ tone
bursts. The ZLNB2016 has been specifically designed to
minimize the solution cost whilst being flexible. The
ZLNB2016 only requires two external components per
channel to give full user control and functionality. The
ZLNB2016 also includes complimentary outputs so that it can
directly drive many multiplexer ICs without the need of
inverters. Any unused outputs can be left open circuit without
any effect to the remaining circuits operation polarization
switch and tone detector outputs can directly drive TTL and
CMOS logic, pin diodes, IF-amp supply switching and
multiplexer ICs.

Above is a partial applications circuit for the ZLNB2016 showing all external components needed for a typical twin LNB design.
The inputs Vpol1 and Vpol2 are designed to be wired to the power inputs of the LNB via ESD protection resistors (20k). These
inputs control the HOR1/2, BHOR1/2 and ENA1/2 logic outputs. The HOR outputs will be low when their corresponding Vpol input
is at or below 14V and high when Vpol is at or above 15.5V. The BHOR outputs give inverted versions of their related HOR
outputs. The HOR/BHOR outputs are intended to activate polarisation selection circuitry within an LNB, under control of the LNB
supply voltage. The ENA1/2 outputs are set high when their corresponding Vpol input is at or above 8.5V and low when Vpol is at
or below 7.5V. These logic outputs can be used to disable any LNB RF output connected to a receiver (STB) that has been
powered down or disconnected (and hence not providing correct cable matching).
The ZLNB2016 includes circuitry necessary to detect the presence of a 22kHz tone modulated on either of two supply inputs to
the LNB. These detectors control the TD1/2 and BTD1/2 outputs. The TD outputs are set high on detection of a valid tone on their
corresponding LNB input and low in the absence of a tone. The BTD outputs give an inverted version of their corresponding TD
outputs. The main elements of each tone detector are an amplifier, a band-pass filter, a rectifier/smoother and a comparator. User
control is given over the gain of the amplifier and the lower frequency limit of the filter, using an external resistor and capacitor.
(The ESD protection resistor noted above can be used to set amplifier gain, hence requiring only one component for both
functions.) The higher frequency limit of the filter is set internally to block signals above 100kHz. The comparator circuit utilises no
external components.
The HOR, BHOR, TD, BTD and ENA outputs are designed to be compatible with LSTTL, CMOS and common MIMIC multiplexer
loads. Any input or output that is not required can be left open circuit.
