Intended for analog and digital satellite receivers, this dual
low-noise block converter regulator (LNBR) is a monolithic
linear and switching voltage regulator, specifically designed to
provide the power and the interface signals to two LNB down
converters via coaxial cables. The A8286 requires few external
components, with the boost switches and compensation circuitry
integrated inside of the device. A high switching frequency is
chosen to minimize the size of the passive filtering components,
further assisting in cost reduction. The high level of component
integration ensures extremely low noise and ripple figures.
The A8286 has been designed for high efficiency, utilizing
the Allegro® advanced BCD process. The integrated boost
switches have been optimized to minimize both switching and
static losses. To further enhance efficiency, the voltage drop
across the tracking regulators has been minimized.
The A8286 has integrated tone detection capability, to support
full two-way DiSEqC™ communications. Several schemes
are available for generating tone signals, all the way down
to no-load, and using either the internal clock or an external
time source.

A8286
Dual LNB Supply and Control Voltage Regulator
Functional Description
Protection
The A8286 has a wide range of protection features and fault diagnostics which are detailed in the Status Register section.
Boost Converter/Linear Regulator
Each channel contains a tracking current-mode boost converter
and linear regulator. The boost converter tracks the requested
LNB voltage to within 800 mV, to minimize power dissipation.
Under conditions where the input voltage, VBOOST , is greater than
the output voltage, VLNB, the linear regulator must drop the differential voltage. When operating in these conditions, care must
be taken to ensure that the safe operating temperature range of the
A8286 is not exceeded.
The A8286 has internal pulse-by-pulse current limit on the boost
converter, and DC current limiting on the LNB output, to protect
the IC against short circuits. When the LNB output is shorted, the
LNB output current is limited to 900 mA typical, and the IC will
be shut down if the overcurrent condition lasts for more than 48
ms. If this occurs, the A8286 must be re-enabled for normal operation. The system should provide sufficient time between successive
restarts to limit internal power dissipation; a period of 5 s is recommended.
Each of the boost converters operates at 352 kHz typical:
16 times the internal 22 kHz tone frequency. All the loop compensation, current sensing, and slope compensation functions are provided internally.
At extremely light loads, and the boost converters operate in
a pulse-skipping mode. Pulse skipping occurs when the BOOST
voltage rises to approximately 450 mV above the BOOST target
output voltage. Pulse skipping stops when the BOOST voltage
drops 200 mV below the pulse skipping level.
In the case that two or more set top box LNB outputs are connected together by the customer (e.g., with a splitter), it is possible
that one output could be programmed at a higher voltage than the
other. This would cause a voltage on one output that is higher than
its programmed voltage (e.g., 19 V on the output of a 13 V programmed voltage). The output with the highest voltage will effectively turn off the other outputs. As soon as this voltage is reduced
below the value of the other outputs, the A8286 output will autorecover to their programmed levels.
Charge Pump. Each 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 at the LNB pin is transitioning, the output voltage rise and
fall times can be set by the value of the capacitor connected from
the TCAP1 pin to GND (CTCAP or C7 in the Applications Schematic). Note that during start-up, the BOOST pin is pre-charged to
the input voltage minus a voltage drop. As a result, the slew rate
control for the BOOST pin occurs from this voltage.
The value of CTCAP can be calculated using the following formula:
CTCAP = (ITCAP × 6) / SR ,
where SR is the required slew rate of the LNB output voltage,
in V/s, and ITCAP is the TCAP pin current specified in the datasheet. The recommended value for CTCAP, 10 nF, should provide
satisfactory operation for most applications. However, in some
cases, it may be necessary to increase the value of CTCAP to avoid
activating the current limit of the LNB output.
One such situation is when two set-top boxes are connected in
parallel. If this is the case, the following formula can be used to
calculate a larger value for CTCAP:
CTCAP ≥ (ITCAP × 6)(2 × CBOOST) / ILIMLNB ,
CTCAP ≥ (10 μA × 6)(2 × 100 μF) / 800 mA = 15 nF .
The minimum value of CTCAP is 2.2nF. There is no theoretical
maximum value of CTCAP , however, too large a value will probably cause the voltage transition specifications to be exceeded. Tone
generation is unaffected by the value of CTCAP.
Pull-Down Rate Control. In applications that have to operate at
very light loads and that require large load capacitances (in the
order of tens to hundreds of microfarads), the output linear stage
provides approximately 40 mA of pull-down capability. This
ensures that the output volts are ramped from 18 V to 13 V in a
reasonable amount of time.

A8286
Dual LNB Supply and Control Voltage Regulator
ODT (Overcurrent Disable Time)
If the LNB output current exceeds 900 mA typical, for more than
48 ms, then the LNB output will be disabled and the OCP bit will
be set.
DC current
The A8286 can handle up to 700 mA per channel individually,
or 950 mA to both channels simultaneously, during continuous
operation.
Short Circuit Handling
Tone Detection
If the LNB output is shorted to ground, the LNB output current
will be clamped to 900 mA, typical. If the short circuit condition
lasts for more than 48 ms, the A8286 will be disabled and the
OCP bit will be set.
A 22 kHz tone detector is provided in each channel of the A8286
solution. The detector extracts the tone signal and provides it as
an open-drain signal on the TDO pins. The maximum tone out
error is ±1 tone cycle, and the maximum tone out delay with
respect to the input is 1 tone cycle. Detection thresholds are given
in table 1.
Auto-Restart
After a short circuit condition occurs, the host controller should
periodically re-enable the A8286 to check if the short circuit has
been removed. Consecutive startup attempts should allow at least
5 s of delay between restarts.
Table 1. Detection Thresholds for Tone Generation Options
Transmit
Option
(Fig. 1)
In-rush Current
At start-up or during an LNB reconfiguration event, a transient surge current above the normal DC operating level can be
provided by the A8286. This current increase can be as high as
900 mA, typical, for as long as required, up to a maximum of
48 ms.

Figure 2. Options for tone generation
Both the EXTM pin and TGATE bit determine the 22 kHz control, whether gated or clocked.
Four options for tone generation are shown in figure 2. Note
that when using option 4, when EXTM stops clocking, the LNB
volts park at the LNB voltage, either plus or minus half the tone
signal amplitude, depending on the state of EXTM. For example,
if the EXTM is held low, the LNB DC voltage is the LNB programmed voltage minus 325 mV (typical).
With any of the four options, when a tone signal is generated,
TDET is set in the status register. When the internal tone is used
(options 1 or 2), the minimum tone detect amplitude is 400 mV,
and when an external tone is used (options 3 or 4), the minimum
tone detection amplitude is 300 mV.
LNB (V)
This is a serial interface that uses two bus lines, SCL and SDA,
to access the internal Control and Status registers of the A8286.
Data is exchanged between a microcontroller (master) and the
A8286 (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.
Timing Considerations
The control sequence of the communication through the I2C™compatible 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.
Write – 6 bits of data and 2 bits for addressing four internal
control registers, followed by an acknowledge bit. See Control
Register section for more information.
Read – Two status registers, where register 1 is read first,
followed by register 2, then register 1, and so on. At the start
of any read sequence, register 1 is always read first. 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 to occur at any time during a data transfer. The

indicate that the data has been successfully received. In both cases,
the master device must release the SDA line before the ninth clock
cycle, in order to allow this handshaking to occur.
During a data read, the A8286 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 from register 1 to the master.
On completion of the eight data bits, the A8286 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 A8286 responds by sending the data
from register 2 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 A8286 stops sending data and
waits for a stop signal.
A8286 always responds by resetting the data transfer sequence.
The Read/Write bit is used to determine the data transfer direction. If the Read/Write bit is high, the master reads the contents of
register 1, followed by register 2 if a further read is performed. If
the Read/Write bit is low, the master writes data to one of the four
Control registers. 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 A8286 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 A8286 also pulls SDA
low during the clock cycle that follows the data byte, in order to

Dual LNB Supply and Control Voltage Regulator
or due to a fault, or is enabled.
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 A8286 latches all conditions in the Status register until the
completion of the data read. The action at the resampling point is
further defined in the Status Register section. The bits in the Status register are defined such that the all-zero condition indicates
that the A8286 is fully active with no fault conditions.
When VIN is initially applied, the I2C™-compatible 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
A8286 acknowledges the address, the IRQ flag is reset. After the
master reads the status registers, the registers are updated with the
VUV reset.
Interrupt Request
The A8286 also provides an interrupt request pin, IRQ, which
is an open-drain, active-low output. This output may be connected
to a common IRQ line with a suitable external pull-up and can
be used with other I2C™-compatible devices to request attention
from the master controller.
The IRQ output becomes active when either the A8286 first
recognizes a fault condition, or at power-on, 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 A8286 with the Read/Write bit set (causing a
read). Fault conditions are indicated by the TSD, VUV, and OCP
bits and are latched in the Status register. See the Status register
section for full description.
The DIS, PNG, CAD and TDET status bits do not cause an interrupt. All these bits are continually updated, apart from the DIS
bit, which changes when the LNB is either disabled, intentionally

Control Registers (I2C™-Compatible Write Register)
All main functions of the A8286 are controlled through the
I2C™-compatible interface via the 8-bit Control registers. As the
A8286 contains numerous control options, as well as featuring
two channels, it is necessary to have four Control registers. Each
register contains up to 6 bits of data (bit 0 to bit 5), followed by
2 bits for the register address (bit 6 and bit 7). The power-up
states for the control functions are all 0s.
The following tables define the control bits for each address
and the settings for output voltage:

These three bits provide incremental control over the voltage on the LNBx 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 table 4, Output Voltage Amplitude Selection.
Switches between the low level and high level output voltages on the LNBx output. 0 selects
the low level voltage and 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 steps of 333 mV
using the VSEL2x, VSEL1x and VSEL0x control register bits.
The overcurrent disable timers are always enabled.

A 0 selects the external tone and a 1 selects the internal tone. See the Tone Generation section for more information
TGATEx Tone Gate. Allows either the internal or external 22 kHz tone signals to be gated,
unless the EXTMx is selected for gating. When set to 0, the selected tone (via
TMODEx) is off. When set to 1, the selected tone is on. See Tone Generation Section for more information.
CADTx Cable Disconnect Test. To perform this test, set bits CADT, ENB, and VSEL0
through VSEL3 through the I2C-compatible interface. During this test, the LNB
linear regulator is disabled, a 1 mA current source between the BOOST output and
the LNB output is enabled, and the BOOST voltage is increased to 22.8 V. After
these conditions are set, if the LNB voltage is above 21 V, it is assumed that the
coaxial cable connection between the LNBR output and the LNB head has been
disconnected. In this case, the CAD bit is set in the Status register. If there is a load
on the LNB pin, then the LNB voltage will decrease proportionally to the load
current. If the LNB volts drop below 19.95 V, it is assumed that the coaxial cable is
connected and the CAD bit in the Status register is set to 0.

A8286
Dual LNB Supply and Control Voltage Regulator
Status Registers (I2C™-Compatible Read Register)
The main fault conditions: overcurrent (OCP), under voltage
(VUV) and overtemperature (TSD), are all indicated by setting
the relevant bits in the Status registers. In all fault cases, once the
bit is set, it remains latched until the A8286 is read by the I2C™
master, assuming the fault has been resolved.
The current status of each LNB output is indicated by the disable
bit, DIS, for that channel. A DIS bit is set when either a fault occurs
or if the LNB is disabled intentionally. These bits are latched and
are reset when the LNB is commanded on again. The power not
good (PNG), tone detect (TDET), and cable disconnected (CAD)
flags are the only bits which may be reset without an I2C™ read
sequence. Table 5 summarizes the condition of each bit when set
and how it is reset.
As the A8286 has a comprehensive set of status reporting bits,
it is necessary to have two Status registers. When performing a
multiple read function, register 1 is read followed by register 2,
then register 1 again and so on. Whenever a new read function is
performed, register 1 is always read first.
The normal sequence of the master in a fault condition will be
to detect the fault by reading the Status registers, then rereading
the Status registers until the status bit is reset indicating the fault
condition is reset. The fault may be detected either by continuously
polling, by responding to an interrupt request (IRQ), or by detecting
a fault condition externally and performing a diagnostic poll of all
slave devices. Note that the fully-operational condition of the Status
registers is all 0s, to simplify checking of the Status bit.

LNB Output Disabled. DIS is used to indicate the current condition of the LNB
output for channel 1. At power-on, or if a fault condition occurs, DIS1 is set. This
bit changing to 1 does not cause the IRQ to activate because the LNB output may
be disabled intentionally by the I2C™ master. This bit will be reset at the end of a
write sequence if the LNB output is enabled.
See description for DIS1. This indicates status for channel 2.
Overcurrent. If the LNB output detects an overcurrent condition for greater than
48 ms the LNB output will be disabled. The OCP bit will be set to indicate that an
overcurrent has occurred and the disable bit, DIS1, will be set. The Status register
is updated on the rising edge of the 9th clock pulse in the data read sequence, where
the OCP bit is reset in all cases, allowing the master to reenable the LNB output.
See description for OCP1. This indicates status for channel 2.
Power Not Good. Set to 1 when the LNB voltage is below 85% of the programmed
voltage. The PNG bit is reset when the LNB voltage is within 90% of the programmed LNB voltage. PNG is always active so, if the LNB output is disabled,
then PNG will be a logic 1. At power-up, PNG reports a logic 1 until the LNB
output is enabled and within 90% of the programmed LNB voltage.
See description for PNG1. This indicates status for channel 2.
Thermal shutdown. 1 indicates that the A8286 has detected an overtemperature
condition and has disabled the LNB outputs. The disable bits, DISx, will also be
set. The status of the overtemperature condition is sampled on the rising edge of
the 9th clock pulse in the data read sequence. If the condition is no longer present,
then the TSD bit will be reset, allowing the master to reenable the LNB output if
required. If the condition is still present, then the TSD bit will remain at 1.
Undervoltage Lockout. 1 indicates that the A8286 has detected that the input supply, VIN is, or has been, below the minimum level and an undervoltage lockout has
occurred disabling the LNB outputs. The disable bits, DISx, will also be set, and the
A8286 will not reenable the output until so instructed by writing the relevant bit into
the control registers. The status of the undervoltage condition is sampled on the rising edge of the 9th clock pulse in the data read sequence. If the condition is no longer present, then the VUV bit will be reset allowing the master to reenable the LNB
output if required. If the condition is still present, then the VUV bit will remain at 1.

Cable between LNB and the LNB head is disconnected. When cable disconnect
test mode is applied, the LNB linear regulator is disabled and a 1 mA current
source is applied between the BOOST1 and LNB1 output. If the LNB volts rise
above 21 V, CAD1 will be set to 1. The CAD1 bit is reset if the LNB volts drop
below 19.95 V.
See description for CAD1. This indicates status for channel 2.
Tone Detect. When tone is enabled by whatever option, or if a tone signal is received
from the LNB, TDET1 will be set to 1 if the tone appears at the LNB1 output. When
the tone is disabled and no tone is received from the LNB, TDET1 is reset.
