pin):
The oscillator is activated by setting the ENT pin (enable tone) = H, and is factory-
trimmed at 22 kHz ± 2 kHz, eliminating the need to use external trimming. The rising
and falling edges are maintained in the 5 to 15 µs range (10 µs typ.), to avoid RF
pollution of the receiver. The duty cycle is 50% typ. It modulates the DC output with a ±
0.325 V typ. amplitude and 0 V average. The presence of this signal usually gives the
LNB information about the band to be received.

IC to shutdown mode, depending on the voltage applied on the EN/VSEL pin.
When EN/VSEL is set high (EN/VSEL > 2.2 V), an 18 V output voltage is selected;
when the EN/VSEL is set low (EN/VSEL < 0.8 V), a 13 V output voltage is selected.
If the EN/VSEL pin is left floating (high impedance) or if the pin is set in a range from
1.2 V to 1.8 V (1.5 V typ.), the IC goes into shutdown mode and the output voltage will
be set to 0 V.
This feature changes the LNB polarization type. The LNB switches to horizontal or
vertical polarization depending on the supply voltage it gets from the receiver.
For the DFN package, in order to keep the power dissipation of the device as low as
possible, the input selector automatically selects V
when 13 V output is selected (i.e. EN/VSEL is low). If the 18 V output is selected (i.e.
EN/VSEL is high), the V

The line length compensation function is useful when the antenna is connected to the
receiver by a long coaxial cable that adds a considerable DC voltage drop. When the
LCC pin is H, the output voltage selected is increased by about 1 V. This function is
available for the DFN package only.
The reference drives all the internal blocks that require a high-precision thermally
compensated voltage source.
The LNBPxx has two different protection features, and both turn off the outputs. The
first one protects against overheating (i.e. for T
overload conditions (i.e. for output current > 550 mA) or short-circuit:

In the thermal protection case the output is disabled until the chip temperature has
fallen below 140 °C typ. and the LNBPxx output is restored.
The overload protection case occurs when output current request is ≥ 500 mA. For
the DFN package only, the IC features dynamic overload and short-circuit
protection. When an overload occurs the device limits the output current for the
