It features two completely independent channels, each providing logic outputs to control LNB polarization selection, local oscillator selection and downfeed disable. It is intended use is in American voltage and tone controlled LNBs as well as high performance Twin, Quad and multiple feed Universal type LNBs, replacing many discrete components to save both manufacturing cost and PCB size whilst improving reliability. The ZLNB2015 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 highly accurate polarization control inputs of the ZLNB2015 have a nominal threshold of 14.25V and to meet the required demanding needs of broadcasters they have a guaranteed threshold range of 14.0V to 14.5V. 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. ZLNB2015 Document number: DS32061 Rev. 1 - 2 To ease design for this situation, each polarization input of the ZLNB2015 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 downfeed 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 ZLNB2015 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 ZLNB2015 has been specifically designed to minimize the solution cost whilst being flexible. The ZLNB2015 only requires two external components per channel to give full user control and functionality. The ZLNB2015 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. 2 of 7 www.diodes.com January 2010 © Diodes Incorporated A Product Line of Diodes Incorporated ZLNB2015 Maximum Ratings NEW PRODUCT Parameter Supply Voltage Supply Current VPOL 1, 2 Input Voltage (Note 1) Power Dissipation Operating Temperature Range Storage Temperature Range Electrical Characteristics Parameter Operating Voltage Range Supply Current Rating -0.6 to +10 Continuous 50 25 500 -40 to +85 -40 to +150 Unit V mA V mW °C °C (at Tamb = 25°C, Vcc = 3.3V unless otherwise specified.

The inputs Vpol1 and Vpol2 are designed to be wired to the power inputs of the LNB via ESD protection resistors (6.8k). 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 14.5V. 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 ZLNB2015 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.
