Introduction
Introduction
The LNBH24L includes two completely independent sections. Unless for the VCC and I²C
inputs, each circuit can be separately controlled and have its independent external
components. All the below specification must be considered equal for both sections (A/B).
2.1
Application information (valid for each section A/B)
This IC has a built-in DC-DC step-up converter that, from a single source from 8 V to 15 V,
generates the voltages (VUP) that let the linear post-regulator to work at a minimum
dissipated power of 0.55 W typ. @ 500 mA load per channel (the linear post-regulator drop
voltage is internally kept at VUP - VOUT = 1.1 V typ.). An under voltage lockout circuit will
disable the whole circuit when the supplied VCC drops below a fixed threshold (6.7 V
typically).
Note:
In this document the VOUT is intended as the voltage present at the linear post-regulator
output (VoRX pin).
2.2
DiSEqC™ data encoding
The new internal 22 kHz tone generator is factory trimmed in accordance to the standards,
and can be selected by I²C interface TTX bit (or TTX pin) and activated by a dedicated pin
(DSQIN) that allows immediate DiSEqC™ data encoding, or through TEN I²C bit in case the
22 kHz presence is requested in continuous mode. In stand-by condition (EN bit LOW) the
TTX function must be disabled setting TTX to LOW.
2.3
DiSEqC™ 1.X implementation by EXTM pin
In order to improve design flexibility and reduce the total application cost, an analogic
modulation input pin is available (EXTM) to generate the 22 kHz tone superimposed to the
VoRX DC output voltage. An appropriate DC blocking capacitor must be used to couple the
modulating signal source to the EXTM pin. If the EXTM solution is used the output R-L filter
can be removed (see Section 5: Application circuits) saving the external components
cost.The pin EXTM modulates the VoRX voltage through the series decoupling capacitor, so
that:
VoRX( AC) = VEXTM( AC) × GEXTM
Where VoRX(AC) and VEXTM(AC) are, respectively, the peak to peak voltage on the VoRX
and EXTM pins while GEXTM is the voltage gain from EXTM to VoRX.
2.4
DISEQC™ 1.X implementation with VoTX and EXTM pin
connection
If an external 22 kHz tone source is not available, it is possible to use the internal 22 kHz
tone generator signal available through the VoTX pin to drive the EXTM pin. By this way the
Doc ID 16857 Rev 2
5/25
Introduction
LNBH24L
VoTX 22 kHz signal will be superimposed to the VoRX DC voltage to generate the LNB output
22 kHz tone (see Figure 3: LNBH24L with internal tone for DiSEqC 1.X applications). The
internal 22 kHz tone generator available through the VoTX pin must be activated during the
22 kHz transmission by DSQIN pin or by the TEN bit.The DSQIN internal circuit activates
the 22 kHz tone on the VoTX output with 0.5 cycles ± 25 µs delay from the TTL signal
presence on the DSQIN pin, and it stops with 1 cycles ± 25 µs delay after the TTL signal is
expired. The VoTX pin internal circuit must be preventively set ON by the TTX function. This
can be controlled both through the TTX pin and by I²C bit. As soon as the tone transmission
is expired, the VoTX must be disabled by setting the TTX to LOW. The 13 / 18 V power
supply is always provided to the LNB from the VoRX pin.
2.5
PDC optional circuit for DISEQC™ 1.X applications using
VoTX signal on to EXTM pin
In some applications, at light output current (< 50 mA) and in case of heavy output
capacitive load, the 22 kHz tone can be distorted. In this case it is possible to add the
"Optional" external components shown in the typical application circuit (see Figure 4:
DiSEqC 1.x using external 22 kHz tone generator source through EXTM pin) connected
between VoRX and PDC pin. This optional circuit acts as an active pull-down discharging the
output capacitance only when the internal 22 kHz tone is activated.
2.6
I²C interface
The main functions of the IC are controlled via I²C bus by writing 6 bits on the system
register (SR 8 bits in write mode). On the same register there are 5 bits that can be read
back (SR 8 bits in read mode) to provide the diagnostic flags of two internal monitoring
functions (OTF, OLF) and three output voltage register status (EN, VSEL, LLC) received by
the IC (see Section 2.8: Diagnostic and protection functions). In read mode there are 3 test
bits (TEST1-2-3) that must be disregarded from the MCU. While, in write mode, there 2 Test
bits (TEST4-5) that must be always set LOW. Each section (A/B) has two selectable I²C
addresses selectable respectively, by the ADDR-A and ADDR-B pins (see Table 11:
Address pins characteristics).
2.7
Output voltage selection
When the IC sections are in stand-by mode (EN bit LOW), the power blocks are disabled.
When the regulator blocks are active (EN bit HIGH), the output can be logic controlled to be
13 or 18 V by mean of the VSEL bit (voltage SELect) for remote controlling of non-DiSEqC
LNBs. Additionally, the LNBH24L is provided with the LLC I²C bit that increase the selected
voltage value to compensate possible voltage drop along the output line. In stand-by
condition (EN bit LOW) all the I²C bits and the TTX pin must be set LOW (if the TTX pin is
not used it can be left floating but the TTX bit must be set LOW during the stand-by
condition).
2.8
Diagnostic and protection functions
The LNBH24L has two diagnostic internal functions provided via I²C bus by reading 2 bits on
the system register (SR bits in read mode). The diagnostic bits are, in normal operation (no
6/25

LNBH24L
Introduction
failure detected), set to LOW. The diagnostic bits are dedicated to the over-temperature and
over-load protections status (OTF and OLF).
2.9
Over-current and short circuit protection and diagnostic
In order to reduce the total power dissipation during an overload or a short circuit condition,
the device is provided with a dynamic short circuit protection. It is possible to set the short
circuit current protection either statically (simple current clamp) or dynamically by the PCL
bit of the I²C SR. When the PCL (pulsed current limiting) bit is set lo LOW, the over current
protection circuit works dynamically: as soon as an overload is detected, the output is shutdown for a time TOFF, typically 900 ms. Simultaneously the diagnostic OLF I²C bit of the
system register is set to "1". After this time has elapsed, the output is resumed for a time
TON = 1/10 TOFF = 90 ms (typ.). At the end of TON, if the overload is still detected, the
protection circuit will cycle again through TOFF and TON. At the end of a full TON in which no
overload is detected, normal operation is resumed and the OLF diagnostic bit is reset to
LOW. Typical TON + TOFF time is 990 ms and an internal timer determines it. This dynamic
operation can greatly reduce the power dissipation in short circuit condition, still ensuring
excellent power-on start-up in most conditions. However, there could be some cases in
which a highly capacitive load on the output may cause a difficult start-up when the dynamic
protection is chosen. This can be solved by initiating any power start-up in static mode
(PCL=1) and, then, switching to the dynamic mode (PCL=0) after a chosen amount of time
depending on the output capacitance. When in static mode, the diagnostic OLF bit goes to
"1" when the current clamp limit is reached and returns LOW when the overload condition is
cleared.
2.10
Thermal protection and diagnostic
The LNBH24L is also protected against overheating: when the junction temperature
exceeds 150°C (typ.), the step-up converter and the liner regulator are shut-off, and the
diagnostic OTF SR bit is set to "1". Normal operation is resumed and the OTF bit is reset to
LOW when the junction is cooled down to 135°C (typ.)
2.11
Output current limit selection
The linear regulator current limit threshold can be set by an external resistor connected to
ISEL pin. The resistor value defines the output current limit by the equation:
Equation 1
IMAX [A] =
10000
RSEL
where RSEL is the resistor connected between ISEL and GND (see R2 in the typical
application circuit). The highest selectable current limit threshold is 0.9 A typ. with RSEL= 11
kΩ. The above equation defines the typical threshold value for each output. However, it is
suggestible to not exceed for a long period a total amount of current of 1 A from both
sections (IOUT_A + IOUT_B < 1 A) in order to avoid the over temperature protection triggering.
Note:
External components are needed to comply to bidirectional DiSEqC™ bus hardware
requirements. Full compliance of the whole application with DiSEqC™ specifications is not
implied by the bare use of this IC. NOTICE: DiSEqC™ is a trademark of EUTELSAT.

I²C bus interface
I²C bus interface
Data transmission from main microprocessor to the LNBH24L and vice versa takes place
through the 2 wires I²C bus interface, consisting of the 2 lines SDA and SCL (pull-up
resistors to positive supply voltage must be externally connected).
6.1
Data validity
As shown in Figure 6, the data on the SDA line must be stable during the high semi-period
of the clock. The HIGH and LOW state of the data line can only change when the clock
signal on the SCL line is LOW.
6.2
Start and stop condition
As shown in Figure 7 a start condition is a HIGH to LOW transition of the SDA line while
SCL is HIGH. The stop condition is a LOW to HIGH transition of the SDA line while SCL is
HIGH. A STOP condition must be sent before each START condition.
6.3
Byte format
Every byte transferred to the SDA line must contain 8 bits. Each byte must be followed by an
acknowledge bit. The MSB is transferred first.
6.4
Acknowledge
The master (microprocessor) puts a resistive HIGH level on the SDA line during the
acknowledge clock pulse (see Figure 8). The peripheral (LNBH24L) that acknowledges has
to pull-down (LOW) the SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse, so that the SDA line is
stable LOW during this clock pulse. The peripheral which has been addressed has to
generate acknowledge after the reception of each byte, otherwise the SDA line remain at the
HIGH level during the ninth clock pulse time. In this case the master transmitter can
generate the STOP information in order to abort the transfer. The LNBH24L won't generate
acknowledge if the VCC supply is below the under-voltage lockout threshold (6.7 V typ.).
6.5
Transmission without acknowledge
Avoiding to detect the acknowledges of the LNBH24L, the microprocessor can use a simpler
transmission: simply it waits one clock without checking the slave acknowledging, and sends
the new data. This approach of course is less protected from misworking and decreases the
noise immunity.

Transmitted data (I²C bus write mode) for each sections A/B
When the R/W bit in the section address is set to 0, the main microprocessor can write on
the system register (SR) of the relative section (A or B, depending on the 7 bit address
value) via I²C bus. All and 8 bits are available and can be written by the microprocessor to

Diagnostic received data (I²C read mode) for both sections
A/B
The LNBH24L can provide to the MCU master a copy of the diagnostic system register
information via I²C bus in read mode. The read mode is master activated by sending the
chip address with R/W bit set to 1. At the following master generated clocks bits, LNBH24L
issues a byte on the SDA data bus line (MSB transmitted first). At the ninth clock bit the
master can:
●
Acknowledge the reception, starting in this way the transmission of another byte from
the LNBH24L
●
No acknowledge, stopping the read mode communication
Three bits of the register are read back as a copy of the corresponding write output voltage
register status (LLC, VSEL, EN), two bits convey diagnostic information about the overtemperature (OTF), output over-load (OLF) and three bit are for internal usage (TEST1-2-3)
and must be disregarded by the MCU software. In normal operation the diagnostic bits are
set to zero, while, if a failure is occurring, the corresponding bit is set to one. At start-up all
the bits are reset to zero.

7.5
Power-ON I²C interface reset
The I²C interface built in the LNBH24L is automatically reset at power-on. As long as the
VCC stays below the undervoltage lockout (UVL) threshold (6.7 V), the interface will not
respond to any I²C command and the system registers (SR) are initialized to all zeroes, thus
keeping the power blocks disabled. Once the VCC rises above 7.3 V typ. The I²C interface
becomes operative and the SRs can be configured by the main microprocessor. This is due
to 500 mV of hysteresis provided in the UVL threshold to avoid false re-triggering of the
Power-ON reset circuit.
7.6
Address pins
For each section of the LNBH24L it is possible to select two I²C interface addresses by
means of the relevant ADDR pin. The ADDR pins are TTL compatible and can be set as per
hereafter address pins characteristics see Table 11.
7.7
DiSEqC™ implementation for each section A/B
LNBH24L helps system designer to implement DiSEqC 1.x protocol by allowing an easy
PWK modulation of the 22 kHz carrier through the EXTM and VoTX pins. Full compliance of
the system to the specification is thus not implied by the bare use of the LNBH24L (see
DiSEqC 1.x operation descriptions and typical application circuits).
