Product details
Overview
ISL6405ER from Intersil is a dual-output LNB supply and control voltage regulator with I²C interface, designed for satellite set-top box modules powering two low-noise blocks (LNBs). It integrates two current-mode boost PWMs (≥92% efficiency), two low-noise linear regulators, 22kHz tone generation, DiSEqC encoding, and digital line-length compensation. Each output delivers 13V/18V ±3% at up to 750mA continuous current for simultaneous dual-tuner operation.
For engineers reviewing the ISL6405ER datasheet, ISL6405ER pinout, ISL6405ER application, or ISL6405ER equivalent, key selection considerations include I²C-configurable 13V/18V outputs with 1V cable compensation, independent 22kHz tone enable per channel via DSQIN pins or ENT bits, thermal/overcurrent diagnostics via OLF/OTF flags, and QFN-32 package compatibility with 5×5 mm footprint and exposed thermal pad.
Technical Context
The ISL6405ER implements two independent current-mode boost PWM controllers feeding low-dropout linear regulators-each configured via I²C register writes (SR1/SR2) to set VSEL (13V/18V) and LLC (±1V compensation). The internal 220kHz oscillator drives both PWMs and is factory-trimmed to generate precise 22kHz tone for DiSEqC compliance, modulated either by dedicated DSQIN pins or I²C ENT bits.
Overcurrent protection supports static (425mA/775mA clamp) or dynamic mode (900ms off-time, 20ms on-time cycling), while thermal shutdown activates at 150°C (typ.) with 15°C hysteresis. All functions-including EN1/EN2 standby control, diagnostic flag readback, and address selection via ADDR pin-are managed through an I²C interface compliant with 400kHz fast-mode operation and 3.3V/5V logic levels.

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Main power supply input | Accepts 8–14V input; powers internal circuitry and charge pump; triggers UVLO at 7.5V |
| VO1 / VO2 | Dual regulated LNB output terminals | Deliver final 13V/18V ±3% to antenna ports; support simultaneous dual-tuner operation |

| SCL / SDA | I²C bus interface | Open-drain bidirectional lines; support 400kHz fast-mode; require external pull-ups |
| ADDR | I²C slave address select | GND = 0001000, ≥2.7V = 0001001; enables dual-device addressing on same bus |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

| Dual-mode overcurrent protection | Configurable static clamp (425/775mA) or dynamic cycling (900ms off/20ms on) to balance start-up reliability and short-circuit power dissipation |
| Real-time diagnostics via I²C | OLF1/OLF2 and OTF flags readable in SR1/SR2 allow firmware to detect overload or thermal fault without external sensors |
Applications
| Satellite Dual-Tuner STB | Multi-Dish LNB Control |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Consumer satellite set-top box with two independent tuners receiving signals from a single dish using dual-LNB configuration. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: ISL6405ER supplies regulated 13V/18V power and injects 22kHz tone to select LNB band (vertical/horizontal) and polarization for each tuner. Use Value: Enables simultaneous recording and viewing of different channels without signal contention; eliminates need for external tone generators or voltage switches. | Use Scenario: Professional installation with two separate satellite dishes (e.g., Astra + Hotbird), each feeding one LNB input of the STB. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: ISL6405ER independently controls voltage (13V/18V) and 22kHz tone per LNB port to switch between dishes and bands. Use Value: Supports DiSEqC 1.0/1.1 protocols for multi-dish switching; allows full remote control of dish selection and polarization via single I²C bus. |

Use Scenario: Integrated PVR with dual-tuner architecture recording one program while playing back another. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: ISL6405ER provides stable, low-noise 13V/18V outputs with <80mV load regulation to maintain LNB lock during rapid channel changes. Use Value: Ensures uninterrupted signal acquisition during playback/recording transitions; thermal protection prevents shutdown during extended recording sessions. | Use Scenario: Multi-channel satellite distribution system in hotels or apartment complexes requiring reliable LNB power across dozens of STBs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: ISL6405ER's I²C diagnostics (OLF/OTF flags) feed into centralized monitoring systems to preemptively identify failing LNBs or cabling faults. Use Value: Reduces field service calls by enabling predictive maintenance; QFN package ensures high thermal reliability in densely packed headend racks. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LNB supply and control applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX2105ETJ+ | Single-output LNB controller; no integrated 22kHz tone generator; requires external oscillator for DiSEqC | Limited to single-tuner designs; lacks dual-channel independence and cable compensation | Select only for cost-sensitive single-LNB applications where DiSEqC is handled externally |
| LM48000SQ/NOPB | Quad-output LNB IC with 13/18V selection but fixed 22kHz tone; no I²C interface-uses parallel control pins | Requires more GPIOs and PCB routing; no remote diagnostics or dynamic current limiting | Prefer for legacy designs with limited microcontroller resources but no need for I²C-based system integration |
Compared with MAX2105ETJ+ and LM48000SQ/NOPB, the ISL6405ER uniquely combines dual independent outputs, integrated DiSEqC-compliant 22kHz generation, I²C-configurable cable compensation, and real-time thermal/overload diagnostics-making it optimal for modern dual-tuner satellite receivers requiring compact, software-controllable power management.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current per channel of the ISL6405ER?
The ISL6405ER delivers up to 750mA of continuous current per output channel (VO1 and VO2), verified across the full operating temperature range of –20°C to +85°C. This rating assumes proper thermal management via the QFN package's exposed pad and meets specifications under worst-case load regulation conditions (≤200mV deviation from nominal 13V/18V).
How does the ISL6405ER implement DiSEqC-compatible 22kHz tone generation?
The ISL6405ER features a factory-trimmed 22kHz oscillator (20–24kHz tolerance) that drives DiSEqC encoding either via the DSQIN1/DSQIN2 pins (for direct hardware modulation) or through the ENT1/ENT2 bits in the I²C system registers. When ENT1/2 = LOW, the DSQIN pin controls tone injection; when ENT1/2 = HIGH, tone is continuous regardless of DSQIN state-ensuring full EUTELSAT protocol compliance.
Can the ISL6405ER operate with both 3.3V and 5V I²C logic levels?
Yes, the ISL6405ER's I²C interface supports full 3.3V and 5V logic operation up to 400kHz fast-mode speed. Input thresholds are defined as VIH ≥ 0.7×VDD and VIL ≤ 0.3×VDD, allowing seamless integration with mixed-voltage microcontrollers. Pull-up resistors must be connected externally to the appropriate VDD rail.
What thermal protection mechanism does the ISL6405ER use, and how is it reported?
The ISL6405ER shuts down its boost converters and linear regulators when junction temperature exceeds 150°C (typical), then resumes operation at 135°C (typical) with 15°C hysteresis. This condition is reported via the OTF (Over-Temperature Flag) bit in System Register 2 (SR2), which remains HIGH until cleared by firmware after temperature recovery.
Does the ISL6405ER support independent voltage selection for each output channel?
Yes, the ISL6405ER supports fully independent voltage selection per channel: VO1 is controlled by VSEL1 and LLC1 bits in SR1, while VO2 is controlled by VSEL2 and LLC2 bits in SR2. Each can be set to 13V/14V/18V/19V combinations via I²C, or overridden by the SEL18V1/SEL18V2 pins on the QFN package-enabling asymmetric configurations like 13V + 18V for mixed-LNB systems.
