Intended for analog and digital satellite receivers, the LNB (low noise
block) converter regulator is a monolithic linear and switching voltage
regulator, specifically designed to provide power and interface signals
to an LNB downconverter, via coaxial cable.
The device uses a 2-wire bidirectional serial interface, compatible with
the I2C (Inter-C bus) standard, that operates up to 400 kHz.
The A8285 is supplied in a 16-lead plastic power SOIC with internally
fused leads for thermal dissipation. The A8287 is supplied in a 24-lead
plastic power SOIC with internally fused leads. Both devices are also
available in lead (Pb) free versions, with 100% matte tine leadframe
plating.

A8285/A8287
LNB Supply and Control Voltage Regulator
Functional Description
Boost Converter/Linear Regulator. A current-mode
boost converter provides the tracking regulator a supply
voltage that tracks the requested LNB output voltage. The
converter operates at 16 times the internal tone
frequency, 352 kHz nominal.
The tracking regulator provides minimum power dissipation
across the range of output voltages, assuming the input voltage is less than the output voltage, by adjusting the BOOST
pin voltage 600 mV nominal above the LNB output voltage
selected. Under conditions where the input voltage is greater
than the output voltage, the tracking regulator must drop the
differential voltage. When operating in this condition, care
must be taken to ensure that the safe operating temperature
range of the A8285/A8287 is not exceeded. For additional
information, see Power Dissipation in the Application Information section.
Note: To conserve power at light loads, the boost converter
operates in a pulse-skipping mode.
Overcurrent Protection. The A8285/A8287 is protected
against both overcurrent and short circuit conditions by limiting the output current to ILIM . In the event of an overcurrent, the current limit can be applied indefinitely. Alternatively, if the ODT feature is enabled, and the fault current
appears for longer than the disable time tDIS, then the device
is turned off. The device can be enabled again via the I2C
interface. If the overcurrent is removed before the disable
time has elapsed, the device remains functioning. These settings are made in the Control register and the Status register.
Charge Pump. Generates a supply voltage above the
internal tracking regulator output to drive the linear regulator control.
Slew Rate Control. During either start-up or when the
output voltage on the BOOST pin is being changed, the
output voltage rise and fall times can be programmed by an
external capacitor located on the TCAP pin. Note that during
start-up, the BOOST pin is precharged to the input voltage
minus a diode drop. As a result, the slew rate control occurs
from this point.
The value for TCAP can be calculated using the following
formula:
TCAP = (ICAP 8) / (ΔV/s)
×
where ΔV/s is required slew rate. The smallest value for
TCAP is 2.2 nF.
Modulation is unaffected by the choice of TCAP. If limiting LNB output voltage rise and fall times is not required,
the TCAP terminal must have a value of at least a 2.2 nF to
minimize output noise.
External Tone Modulation. To improve design flexibility and to allow implementation of proposed LNB remote
control standards, the logic modulation input pin EXTM
is provided. The logic signal supplied to this pin creates a
650 mV ±250 mV tone signal on the TOUT pin by controlling a 40 mA current pull-down device through the
DiSEqC™ filter. The shape of the tone waveform depends
on the filter components used and the LNB/cable capacitance.
Tone Detection. A 22 kHz tone envelope detector is provided in the A8287 solution. The detector extracts the tone
signal and provides it as an open-collector signal on the TDO
pin. The maximum tone out error is ±1 tone cycle, and the maximum tone out delay with respect to the input is ±1 tone cycle.
Control Register. The main functions of the A8285/
A8287 are controlled via the I2C interface by writing to the
control register. The power-up states for the control functions are all zero. Control functions include the following:
• Internal Tone Modulation Enable (ENT). When the
ENT bit is set to 1, the internal tone generator controls
a 40 mA pull-down device, thus creating the tone signal
after the DiSEqC™ filter in a way identical to the EXTM
scheme. The internal oscillator is factory-trimmed to
provide a tone of 22 ±2 kHz. No further adjustment is
required. Burst coding of the 22 kHz tone is accomplished
due to the fast response of the serial command and rapid
tone response. This allows implementation of the
DiSEqC™ 2.0 protocols.
• Select Output Voltage Amplitude (VSEL0, VSEL1,
VSEL2, VSEL3). The LNB output voltage can be programmed to a particular voltage according to the Output Voltage Amplitude Selection table shown on the following page.
• Enable (ENB). When set to 1, the LNB output is enabled.
When reset to 0, the LNB output is disabled.
• Overcurrent Limit (ILIM). Selects the output overcurrent
limit. When set to 0, the limit is 500 mA. When set to 1, the
limit is 700 mA.
• Overcurrent Disable Time (ODT). When set to 1, in the
event of an overcurrent occuring for a duration exceeding
the disable time, the device is turned off. When set to 0,

LNB Supply and Control Voltage Regulator
this feature is disabled and the device is not turned off during an overcurrent.
Status Register. The status of the A8285/A8287 read register can be interrogated by the system master controller via
the I2C interface. Status functions include the following:
• Undervoltage Lockout (VUV). When the input voltage
(VIN) drops below the undervoltage threshold, the undervoltage bit VUV is set, disabling the output.
• Power Not Good (PNG). When the LNB output is enabled,
and the LNB output is below 85% of the programmed LNB
voltage, the PNG bit is set.
• Disable (DIS). Provides the status of the LNB output.
When set, this indicates that the output is disabled, either
intentionally or by a fault.
• Thermal Shutdown (TSD). When the junction temperature exceeds the maximum threshold, the thermal shutdown
bit is set, which disables the LNB output. DIS also is set.
• Overcurrent (OCP). This disables LNB output when an
overcurrent appears on the LNB output for a period greater
than the ODT (ODT must be enabled for this feature to take
effect). In addition, the DIS bit is set. Note: If an overcurrent
occurs and ODT is disabled, the A8285/A8287 will operate
in current limit indefininitely and the OCP bit will not be set.
IRQ Flag. The IRQ flag is activated when any fault condition occurs, including: thermal shutdown, overcurrent,
undervoltage, or the occurrence of a power-up sequence.
Note that the IRQ flag is not activated when either (a) the
channel is disabled (DIS), as it may have been disabled
intentionally by the master controller, or (b) if PNG is active,
as the A8285/A8287 may be starting up. Fault conditions are
stored in the status registers. Also note that the IRQ flag will
not activate when an overcurrent occurs and ODT is disabled. In this condition, the device operates within ILIM.

When VIN is initially applied to the A8285/A8285, the VUV bit
is set, indicating that an undervoltage condition has occurred.
When the IRQ flag is activated during either of the above
fault conditions, and the system master controller addresses
the A8285/A8287 with the read/write bit set to 1, then the
IRQ flag is reset once the A8285/A8287 acknowledges the
address. When the master controller reads the data and is
acknowledged, the status registers are updated. If the fault
is removed, the A8285/A8287 is again ready for operation
(being re-enabled via a write command). Otherwise, the
controller can keep polling the A8285/A8287 until the fault
is removed.
When VIN, is initially applied to the A8285/A8285, the I2C
interface will not function until the internal logic supply VREG
has reached its operating level. Once VREG is within tolerance, the VUV bit in the status register is set and the IRQ is
activated to inform the master controller of this condition.
(The IRQ is effectively acting as a power-up flag.) The IRQ
is reset when the A8285/A8287 acknowledges the address.
Once the master has read the status registers, the VUV bit is
reset. The device is then ready for operation.
I2C Interface. This is a serial interface that uses two bus
lines, SCL and SDA, to access the internal Control and
Status registers of the A8285/A8287. Data is exchanged
between a microcontroller (master) and the A8285/A8287
(slave). The clock input to SCL is generated by the master,
while SDA functions as either an input or an open drain
output, depending on the direction of the data.

LNB Supply and Control Voltage Regulator
Application Information
to occur at any time during a data transfer. The A8285/A8287
always responds by resetting the data transfer sequence.
Timing Considerations
The control sequence of the communication through the I2C
interface is composed of several steps in sequence:
1. Start Condition. Defined by a negative edge on the SDA
line, while SCL is high.
2. Address Cycle. 7 bits of address, plus 1 bit to indicate
read (1) or write (0), and an acknowledge bit. The first
five bits of the address are fixed as: 00010. The four
optional addresses, defined by the remaining two bits, are
selected by the ADD input. The address is transmitted
MSB first.
3. Data Cycles. 8 bits of data followed by an acknowledge
bit. Multiple data bytes can be read. Data is transmitted
MSB first.
4. Stop Condition. Defined by a positive edge on the SDA
line, while SCL is high.
Except to indicate a Start or Stop condition, SDA must be
stable while the clock is high. SDA can only be changed
while SCL is low. It is possible for the Start or Stop condition
The Read/Write bit is used to determine the data transfer
direction. If the Read/Write bit is high, the master reads one
or more bytes from the A8285/A8287. If the Read/Write bit
is low, the master writes one byte to the A8285/A8287. Note
that multiple writes are not permitted. All write operations
must be preceded with the address.
The Acknowledge bit has two functions. It is used by the
master to determine if the slave device is responding to its
address and data, and it is used by the slave when the master
is reading data back from the slave. When the A8285/A8287
decodes the 7-bit address field as a valid address, it responds
by pulling SDA low during the ninth clock cycle.
During a data write from the master, the A8285/A8287 also
pulls SDA low during the clock cycle that follows the data
byte, in order to indicate that the data has been successfully
received. In both cases, the master device must release the

A8285/A8287
LNB Supply and Control Voltage Regulator
SDA line before the ninth clock cycle, in order to allow this
handshaking to occur.
register are defined such that the all-zero condition indicates
that the A8285/A8287 is fully active with no fault conditions.
During a data read, the A8285/A8287 acknowledges the
address in the same way as in the data write sequence, and
then retains control of the SDA line and send the data to the
master. On completion of the eight data bits, the A8285/
A8287 releases the SDA line before the ninth clock cycle,
in order to allow the master to acknowledge the data. If the
master holds the SDA line low during this Acknowledge bit,
the A8285/A8287 responds by sending another data byte to
the master. Data bytes continue to be sent to the master until
the master releases the SDA line during the Acknowledge bit.
When this is detected, the A8285/A8287 stops sending data
and waits for a stop signal.
When VIN is initially applied, the I2C interface does not
respond to any requests until the internal logic supply VREG
has reached its operating level. Once VREG has reached this
point, the IRQ output goes active, and the VUV bit is set.
After the A8285/A8287 acknowledges the address, the IRQ
flag is reset. Once the master reads the status registers, the
registers are updated with the VUV reset.
Control Register (I2C Write Register). All main functions of the A8285/A8287 are controlled through the I2C
interface via the 8-bit Control register. This register allows
selection of the output voltage and current limit, enabling and
disabling the LNB output, and switching the 22 kHz tone on
and off. The power-up state is 0 for all of the control functions.
Interrupt Request. The A8285/A8287 also provides an
interrupt request pin IRQ, which is an open-drain, activelow output. This output may be connected to a common
IRQ line with a suitable external pull-up and can be used
with other I2C devices to request attention from the master
controller. The IRQ output becomes active when either the
A8285/A8287 first recognizes a fault condition, or at poweron when the main supply VIN and the internal logic supply
VREG reach the correct operating conditions. It is only reset
to inactive when the I2C master addresses the A8285/A8287
with the Read/Write bit set (causing a read). Fault conditions
are indicated by the TSD, VUV, and OCP bits in the status
register (see description of OCP for conditions of use). The
DIS and PNG bits do not cause an interrupt. When the master recognizes an interrupt, it addresses all slaves connected
to the interrupt line in sequence, and then reads the status
register to determine which device is requesting attention.
The A8285/A8287 latches all conditions in the status register until the completion of the data read.
Bit 0 (VSEL0), Bit 1 (VSEL1), and Bit 2 (VSEL2). These
provide incremental control over the voltage on the LNB
output. The available voltages provide the necessary levels
for all the common standards plus the ability to add line
compensation in increments of 333 mV. The voltage levels
are defined in the Output Voltage Amplitude Selection table.
Bit 3 (VSEL3). Switches between the low-level and highlevel output voltages on the LNB output. A value of 0 selects
the low level voltage and a value of 1 selects the high level.
The low-level center voltage is 12.709 V nominal, and the
high level is 18.042 V nominal. These may be increased, in
increments of 333 mV, by using the VSEL2, VSEL1, and
VSEL0 control register bits.
Bit 4 (ODT). When set to 1, enables the ODT feature
(disables the A8285/A8287 if the overcurrent disable time
is exceeded during an overcurrent condition on the output).
When set to 0, the ODT feature is disabled.
The action at the resampling point is further defined in the
description for each of the status bits. The bits in the status

A8285/A8287
LNB Supply and Control Voltage Regulator
Bit 5 (ENB). When set to 1, enables the LNB output. When
set to 0, the LNB output is disabled.
Bit 6 (ILIM). Selects the ILIM level. When set to 0, the lower
limit (typically 500 mA) is selected. When set to 1, the
higher limit (typically 700 mA), is selected.
Bit 7 (ENT). When set to 1, enables modulation of the
LNB output with the the internal 22 kHz tone. Since the I2C
interface is compatible with the 400 kHz transfer speed, this
bit may be used to encode DiSEqC™ 2.0 tone bursts for
communication with the LNB or switcher at the far end of
the coaxial cable.
Status Register (I2C Read Register). The main fault
conditions: overcurrent, undervoltage, and overtemperature,
are all indicated by setting the relevant bit in the Status
register. In all fault cases, once the bit is set it is not reset
until the A8285/A8287 is read by the I2C master. The current status of the LNB output is also indicated by DIS. DIS
and PNG are the only bits that may be reset without an I2C
read sequence. The normal sequence of the master in a fault
condition is to detect the fault by reading the Status register,
then rereading the Status register until the status bit is reset,
indicating the fault condition has been reset. The fault may
be detected by: continuously polling, responding to an interrupt request (IRQ), or detecting a fault condition externally
and performing a diagnostic poll of all slave devices. Note
that the fully operational condition of the Status register is
all 0s. This simplifies checking of the status byte.

Bit 0 (TSD). A 1 indicates that the A8285/A8287 has
detected an overtemperature condition and has disabled
the LNB output. DIS is set and the A8285/A8287 does not
re-enable the output until so instructed by writing the relevant bit into the Control register. The status of the overtemperature condition is sampled on the rising edge of the ninth
clock pulse in the data read sequence. If the condition is no
longer present, then the TSD bit is reset, allowing the master
to re-enable the LNB output if required. If the condition is
still present, then the TSD bit remains at 1.
Bit 1 (OCP) Overcurrent. If the A8285/A8287 detects an
overcurrent condition for greater than the detection time, and
if ODT is enabled, the LNB output is then disabled. Also, the
OCP bit is set to indicate that an overcurrent has occurred,
and the DIS bit is set. The Status register is updated on the
rising edge of the ninth clock pulse. The OCP bit is reset in
all cases, allowing the master to re-enable the LNB output. If
the overcurrent timer is not enabled, the A8285/A8287 operates in current limit indefinitely, and the OCP bit is not set.
Bit 2 and 3. Reserved.
Bit 4 (PNG) Power Not Good. Set to 1 when the LNB
output is enabled and the LNB output volts are below 85%
of the programmed LNB voltage. The PNG is reset when the
LNB volts are within 90% of the programmed LNB voltage.
Bit 5 (DIS) LNB output disabled. DIS is used to indicate
the current condition of the LNB output. At power-on, or if
a fault condition occurs, the disable bit is set. Having this bit
change to 1 does not cause the IRQ to activate because the
LNB output may be disabled intentionally by the I2C master.
This bit also is reset at the end of a write sequence, if the
LNB output is enabled.
Bit 6. Reserved.
Bit 7 (VUV) Undervoltage lockout. Set to 1 to indicate that
the A8285/A8287 has detected that the input supply VIN is, or
has been, below the minimum level and that an undervoltage
lockout has occurred, which has disabled the LNB output.
Bit 5 also is set, and the A8285/A8287 does not re-enable the
output until so instructed (by having the relevant bit written
into the Control register). The status of the undervoltage condition is sampled on the rising edge of the ninth clock pulse
in the data read sequence. If the condition is no longer present, the VUV bit is reset, allowing the master to re-enable the
LNB output if required. If the condition is still present, the
VUV bit remains set to 1.

A8285/A8287
LNB Supply and Control Voltage Regulator
Power Dissipation
To ensure that the device operates within the safe operating
temperature range, several checks should be performed. An
approximate operating junction temperature can be determined by estimating the power losses and the thermal impedance characteristics of the printed circuit board solution. To
do so, perform the following procedure:
1. Estimate the maximum ambient temperature (TA).
2. Define the maximum running junction temperature (TJ)of
A8285/A8287. Note that the absolute maximum junction
temperature should never exceed 150ºC.
3. Determine worst case power dissipation:
(a) Estimate the duty cycle D:
D = 1 – [VIN / (VOUT + VD + ΔVREG)]
ture and it rises by 2.7 mΩ/ºC with respect to the specified
figure, RDSBOOST(25ºC), when Tj equals 25ºC.
Actual RDSBOOST = RDSBOOST(25ºC) + [(Tj – 25)
(d) Determine losses in each block PTOT; based on the relative
value of VIN, perform either (i) or (ii):
(i) When VIN < VOUT + VD + ΔVREG. Note that worst case dissipation occurs at minimum input voltage.
PTOT = Pd_Rds + Pd_sw + Pd_control + Pd_lin
where

where:
VD is the voltage drop of the boost diode, and

(ii) When VIN > VOUT + VD + ΔVREG. Note that worst case

The RØJA for one or two layer PCBs can be estimated from
the RØJA vs. Area charts on the following page.
Note: For maximum effectiveness, the PCB area underneath
the IC should be filled copper and connected to pins 4 and
13 for A8285, and pins 6, 7, 18, and 19 for A8287. Where
a PCB with two or more layers is used, apply thermal vias,
placing them adjacent to each of the above pins, and underneath the IC.

Note: For the case of the A8287, the area of copper required
on each layer is approximately 1.2 in2.
Example.
Given:
VIN = 12 V
Layout Considerations
VOUT = 18 V
Recommended placement of critical components and tracking for the A8287 is shown in the PCB Layout digagram on
the following page. It is recommended that the ground plane
be separated into two areas, referred to as switcher and control, on each layer using a ground plane. With respect to the
input connections, VIN and 0V, the two ground plane areas
are isolated as shown by the dotted line and the ground plane
areas are connected together at pins 6, 7, 18, and 19. This
configuration minimizes the effects of the noise produced by
the switcher on the noise-sensitive sections of the circuit.
ILOAD = 500 mA
Two-layer PCB.
Maximum ambient temperature = 70 ºC,
Maximum allowed junction temperature= 110 ºC
Assume:
VD= 0.4 V and select ΔVREG= 0.7 V
D = 1 – (12 / (18 + 0.4 + 0.7) = 0.37
× 0.5 / (0.89 × 12) = 843 mA
= 0.5 + (110 – 25) × 2.7 mΩ= 730 mΩ
Power-related tracking from INPUT to L1, LNB (pin 17) to
L2 then OUTPUT, LX (pin 20) to D1 and L1, VBOOST (pin
23) to C4 and D1 should be as short and wide as possible.
Power components such as the boost diode D1, inductor
L1, and input/output capacitors C1, C9, and C4, should be
located as close as possible to the IC. The DiSEqC inductor
L2 should be located as far away from the boost inductor L1
to prevent potential magnetic crosstalk.
IPK = 18
Worst case losses can now be estimated:
Pd_Rds = 0.8432
× 0.73 × 0.37 = 192 mW
Pd_sw = 70 mW
Pd_control = 15 mA
Pd_lin = 0.7
×V
IN
= 180 mW
The filter capacitor (VREG), charge pump capacitor (VCP),
ac coupling tone detect capacitor (TDI), tone pull-down
resistor (TOUT), and LNB output capacitor/protection diode
(LNB) should be located directly next to the appropriate pin.
× 0.5 = 350 mW
and therefore
PTOT = 0.192 + 0.07 + 0.18 + 0.35 = 0.792 W
Where a PCB with two or more layers is used, it is recommended that four thermal vias be deployed as shown in the
PCB Layout diagram. Note that adding additional vias does
not enhance the thermal characteristics.
The thermal resistance required is:
(110 – 70) / 0.792 = 50.5ºC/W
