Product details
Overview
ISL6405ER-T from Intersil is a dual-output LNB supply and control voltage regulator with integrated I²C interface, designed for satellite set-top box applications. It delivers independently programmable 13V/18V outputs (±0.26V accuracy), supports 750mA continuous current per channel, incorporates factory-trimmed 22kHz tone generation for DiSEqC encoding, and features digital cable length compensation (+1V). It powers two low-noise blocks (LNBs) simultaneously in dual-tuner systems.
For engineers reviewing the ISL6405ER-T datasheet, ISL6405ER-T pinout, ISL6405ER-T application, or ISL6405ER-T equivalent, key selection considerations include dual-channel independent voltage selection via I²C, dynamic overcurrent protection with programmable thresholds (425mA/775mA), thermal shutdown at 150°C, QFN-32 package compatibility, and DiSEqC-compliant 22kHz tone modulation with DSQIN pin control.
Technical Context
The ISL6405ER-T integrates two independent current-mode boost PWM controllers feeding low-noise linear regulators, enabling constant dropout voltage (~1.2V) across each pass element while supporting coaxial tone injection. Its internal 220kHz oscillator drives both PWMs and is derived from a factory-trimmed 22kHz tone generator compliant with EUTELSAT DiSEqC standards.
All functions-including VSEL1/VSEL2 (13V/18V), LLC1/LLC2 (±1V line compensation), ENT1/ENT2 (tone enable), EN1/EN2 (standby), and ISEL1/ISEL2 (overcurrent threshold)-are controlled via an 8-bit I²C system register (SR1/SR2) with slave address 000100XX, operating at up to 400kHz with full 3.3V/5V logic compatibility.

|---|---|
Use Scenario: Simultaneous reception from two satellite positions using dual LNBs in one set-top box chassis. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: ISL6405ER-T provides independent 13V/18V bias and 22kHz tone to each LNB, enabling concurrent tuning and DiSEqC switching. Use Value: Eliminates need for two discrete LNB power ICs; reduces BOM count and layout complexity while ensuring precise tone timing for reliable DiSEqC command execution. | Use Scenario: Controlling motorized dish positioners that require burst-modulated 22kHz signals to select orbital slots.

| LNB Bias with Coaxial Drop Compensation | Thermally Constrained STB Designs |
Use Scenario: Long coaxial cable runs (>30m) causing >1V DC drop between STB and LNB, risking undervoltage shutdown. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: ISL6405ER-T applies +1V line length compensation (LLC bit) to maintain ≥13V at LNB input under load. Use Value: Prevents LNB brownout without increasing PCB trace width or adding external boost circuitry; maintains stable operation across installation variations. | Use Scenario: Compact set-top boxes with limited airflow where LNB power ICs must operate reliably at 85°C ambient. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: ISL6405ER-T integrates thermal shutdown (150°C trip) and automatic recovery (135°C hysteresis), reporting status via OTF flag on I²C. Use Value: Enables safe operation in thermally dense enclosures; allows firmware to log overheating events and throttle other subsystems preemptively. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX2222AETG+ | Single-channel LNB supply; no integrated 22kHz tone generator; requires external oscillator for DiSEqC | Not suitable for dual-LNB or DiSEqC-only designs without added components | Select only for cost-sensitive single-tuner STBs where tone generation is handled externally |
| LM43603PWPR | 3.5V–36V synchronous buck regulator; no LNB-specific features (tone, VSEL, DSQIN, DiSEqC support) | Requires full external circuitry for LNB bias, tone injection, and protocol encoding | Use only for custom LNB power designs where full flexibility outweighs integration benefits |
Compared with MAX2222AETG+ and LM43603PWPR, the ISL6405ER-T uniquely combines dual-channel 13V/18V regulation, factory-trimmed 22kHz tone, DiSEqC pin control, and digital line compensation in a single QFN package-reducing design effort and component count for satellite STB applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current per channel for the ISL6405ER-T?
The ISL6405ER-T delivers up to 750mA continuous current per output channel (VO1 and VO2). This rating is valid across the full operating temperature range (-20°C to +85°C) and supports simultaneous dual-LNB operation without derating. The device includes programmable overcurrent protection thresholds (425mA or 775mA) and dynamic fault recovery to maintain reliability under transient overload conditions.
How does the ISL6405ER-T implement DiSEqC-compatible 22kHz tone generation?
The ISL6405ER-T integrates a factory-trimmed 22kHz oscillator (±2kHz tolerance) compliant with EUTELSAT DiSEqC standards. Tone modulation is controlled either via the I²C ENT1/ENT2 bits or directly through the DSQIN1/DSQIN2 pins, enabling burst-mode encoding with ≤14µs rise/fall time. The tone amplitude is 680mV typical, with 50% duty cycle, and requires no external components for standard implementation.
Can the ISL6405ER-T compensate for voltage drop across long coaxial cables?
Yes. The ISL6405ER-T includes digital line length compensation (LLC) that adds +1V to the selected output voltage (13V or 18V) per channel when the LLC1 or LLC2 bit is set HIGH via I²C. This feature maintains minimum required LNB bias voltage at the antenna end of long coaxial runs without requiring external sensing or feedback circuitry.
What package type and pin count does the ISL6405ER-T use?
The ISL6405ER-T uses a 32-lead 5×5 mm QFN package (JEDEC MO-220 VHHD-2) with an exposed thermal pad. It is identical in footprint and pinout to the ISL6405ER, and the "-T" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging. This near chip-scale package offers superior thermal performance and smaller PCB area versus the EPSOIC variant.
Does the ISL6405ER-T support hardware-based voltage selection independent of I²C?
Yes. The ISL6405ER-T QFN package includes dedicated SEL18V1 and SEL18V2 pins that force the respective output to 18V when driven HIGH, overriding the I²C VSEL bits. This enables fast, non-processor-dependent voltage switching for legacy or safety-critical LNB control paths, while retaining full I²C programmability for dynamic configuration.
