A8291 Overview
Intended for analog and digital satellite receivers, this single 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 an LNB down converter via coaxial cable. The A8291 requires few external ponents, with the boost switch and pensation circuitry integrated inside of the device. A high switching...
A8291 Key Features
- 2-wire serial I2C™ -patible interface: control (write) and status (read)
- LNB voltages (16 programmable levels) patible with all mon standards
- Tracking switch-mode power converter for lowest dissipation
- Integrated converter switches and current sensing
- Provides up to 500 mA load current
- Static current limit circuit allows full current at startup and 13→18 V output transition; reliably starts wide load ran
- Push-pull output stage minimizes 13→18 V and 18→13 V output transition times for highly capacitive loads
- Adjustable rise/fall time via external timing capacitor
- Built-in tone oscillator, factory-trimmed to 22 kHz facilitates DiSEqC™ tone encoding, even at no-load
- Four methods of 22 kHz tone generation, via I2C™ data bits and/or external pin
