A8285 and A8287
LNB Supply and Control Voltage Regulator
Features and Benefits
Description
• LNB selection and standby function
• Provides up to 500 mA load current
• Two-wire serial I2C interface
• Built-in tone oscillator, factory-trimmed to 22 kHz;
facilitates DiSEqC™ 2.0 encoding
• Auxiliary modulation input
• 22 kHz tone detector facilitates DiSEqC™ decoding
(A8287 only)
• Tracking switch-mode power converter for lowest
dissipation
• LNB overcurrent protection and diagnostics
• Internal overtemperature protection
• LNB voltages (16 possible levels) compatible with all
common standards
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.

and it rises by 2.7 mΩ/ºC with respect to the specified figure,
RDSBOOST(25ºC), when Tj equals 25ºC.
Reserved
RØJA = (TJ – TA) / PTOT
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.

A8287
LNB Supply and Control Voltage Regulator
Layout Considerations
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.
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.
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.
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.
Example.
Given:
VIN = 12 V
VOUT = 18 V
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
RDSBOOST = 0.5 + (110 – 25) × 2.7 mΩ= 730 mΩ
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
× VIN = 180 mW
× 0.5 = 350 mW
and therefore
PTOT = 0.192 + 0.07 + 0.18 + 0.35 = 0.792 W
The thermal resistance required is:
(110 – 70) / 0.792 = 50.5ºC/W
Note: For the case of the A8287, the area of copper required on
each layer is approximately 1.2 in2.
