Product details
Overview
ISL6422BEVEZ from Renesas Electronics (formerly Intersil) is a dual-output LNB supply and control voltage regulator IC designed for satellite set-top box applications. It integrates two current-mode boost PWMs, two low-noise linear regulators, 22kHz tone generation, DiSEqC modulation/decoding, and I²C interface - delivering 13.3V/14.3V or 18.3V/19.3V outputs with up to 750mA per channel, ±2% output voltage accuracy, and factory-trimmed 22kHz oscillator for EUTELSAT-compliant operation in dual-tuner LNB power systems.
For engineers reviewing the ISL6422BEVEZ datasheet, ISL6422BEVEZ pinout, ISL6422BEVEZ application, or ISL6422BEVEZ equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated EPTSSOP-38 pin functions, confirmed DiSEqC timing behavior, and two production-ready alternative parts with documented functional and application-level differences.
Technical Context
The ISL6422BEVEZ implements a dual-channel architecture where each output path combines a high-efficiency (>92%) boost PWM (operating at 440kHz typical) feeding a low-dropout linear post-regulator - enabling precise 13.3V/14.3V or 18.3V/19.3V output selection via I²C or SELVTOP pins while maintaining constant ~0.8V dropout across pass elements. Tone injection occurs symmetrically on both VOUT lines with <10µs rise/fall time and 50% duty cycle.
DiSEqC functionality is fully integrated: EXTM1/EXTM2 accept externally modulated commands or enable internal tone modulation; TDIN1/TDIN2 detect incoming 22kHz tone (17.5–26.5kHz capture range); TXT1/TXT2 dynamically switch decoder thresholds between 200mV (Rx) and 450mV (Tx); and FLT provides open-drain fault interrupt signaling overtemperature, overcurrent, UVLO, or cable fault conditions readable via I²C status registers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage Range | 13.3V, 14.3V, 18.3V, or 19.3V per channel - selectable via I²C bits or SELVTOP pins; enables compatibility with universal LNBs requiring vertical/horizontal polarization and band switching. |
| Max Output Current | 750mA per channel - supports full-power simultaneous operation of two LNBs without derating below +85°C ambient in EPTSSOP package. |
| Tone Frequency | 22.0kHz ±10% (20–24kHz) - factory-trimmed oscillator meets EUTELSAT DiSEqC standard; eliminates external crystal or calibration. |
| Current Limit Resolution | Five programmable dynamic thresholds (305mA to 890mA typ) - configured via ISEL bits; allows fine-grained short-circuit protection tuning for varying cable lengths and LNB input capacitance. |
| I²C Address | 000100XX (4 options) - supports multi-device bus configuration in complex STB designs; compatible with 2.5V/3.3V/5V logic and 400kHz fast-mode operation. |
| Backward Voltage Tolerance | 27V reverse bias on VOUT - prevents damage when higher-voltage LNB lines (e.g., 19.3V) are accidentally connected to a 13.3V-configured output. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C junction threshold with 20°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload; fourth fault latches FLT low until I²C reset or power cycle. |
Pinout & Package
ISL6422BEVEZ is housed in a 38-lead EPTSSOP package (M38.173B), thermally enhanced with exposed pad for improved heat dissipation in satellite STB power modules. Pin functions are validated per FN6486 Rev 2.00 datasheet, Page 9 (Functional Pin Description).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VOUT1, VOUT2 | Dual regulated LNB supply outputs | Deliver precisely trimmed DC voltage (13.3/14.3/18.3/19.3V) to LNB ports A/B; support back-bias up to 27V and 750mA continuous load. |
| SELVTOP1, SELVTOP2 | Hardware voltage range select inputs | Pin-strapped control to choose between low-range (13.3/14.3V) or high-range (18.3/19.3V) outputs - enables fast mode switching without I²C transaction. |
| EXTM1, EXTM2 | External DiSEqC modulation inputs | Accept externally generated DiSEqC burst signals; directly inject tone-modulated command onto corresponding VOUT line with symmetrical waveform. |
| TDIN1, TDIN2 | Tone detection inputs | Monitor VOUT for incoming 22kHz tone (17.5–26.5kHz); feed decoded signal to TDOUT1/TDOUT2 open-drain outputs for microprocessor polling. |
| FLT | Fault interrupt output | Open-drain active-low signal indicating overtemperature, overcurrent, UVLO, or cable fault - triggers host processor diagnostic read of I²C status registers. |
| SDA, SCL | I²C bidirectional data/clock | Standard two-wire interface supporting 400kHz fast-mode; enables full remote configuration of voltage, tone, current limit, and diagnostics. |
| CS1, CS2 | Current sense inputs | Connect external sense resistors to set overcurrent threshold; interface with internal 450mV reference for accurate dynamic/ static current limiting. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated DiSEqC encoder/decoder | Eliminates need for discrete tone generator, comparator, and modulation circuitry - reduces BOM count by ≥6 components and PCB area by >25mm². |
| Dual independent I²C-controllable outputs | Enables asymmetric configuration (e.g., VOUT1 = 13.3V for LNB-A, VOUT2 = 18.3V for LNB-B) - supports mixed-polarization, multi-dish satellite reception without external logic. |
| Programmable dynamic current limiting | Five user-selectable thresholds (305–890mA) with 900ms off-time during fault - limits average power dissipation to <1.2W during sustained short-circuit, preventing thermal runaway. |
| Back-current protection with auto-recovery | Detects >140mA reverse current for >2ms and cycles output ON (2ms)/OFF (50ms) - protects against miswired LNB cables while preserving system uptime. |
| TCAP-controlled slew rate | External capacitor (0.15µF typical) sets VOUT rise/fall time - ensures controlled voltage transitions that avoid LNB lock-up during band switching. |
Applications
| Direct Satellite TV Reception | Dual-Tuner PVR Systems |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL6422BERZ | Same silicon die in 40-lead QFN (6×6 mm); 34°C/W θJA vs. 29°C/W for EPTSSOP; identical electrical specs and register map. | Preferred for space-constrained STBs needing lower profile; requires re-layout due to different footprint and thermal pad geometry. | Select ISL6422BERZ when board area is limited and thermal performance can be maintained via QFN solder paste volume and PCB copper pour. |
| MAX2102ETJ+ | Single-channel LNB controller; 13/18V only (no 14/19V); no integrated DiSEqC decoder; requires external tone generator for DiSEqC encoding. | Requires two ICs for dual-LNB support; lacks TDIN/TDOUT diagnostics and backward current protection; limited to basic DiSEqC 1.0. | Choose MAX2102ETJ+ only for cost-sensitive single-tuner designs where DiSEqC decoding and advanced fault handling are not required. |
Compared with ISL6422BEVEZ, ISL6422BERZ offers identical functionality in a smaller footprint but demands revised thermal and layout design, while MAX2102ETJ+ sacrifices integration depth - requiring additional components for dual-channel operation and lacking critical diagnostics like cable fault detection and tone decode status.

FAQ
What is the recommended replacement for ISL6422BEVEZ since it is marked "No longer available"?
The official recommended replacement for ISL6422BEVEZ is ISL6422BERZ - same silicon, identical electrical specifications, and full register compatibility. ISL6422BERZ uses a 40-lead QFN package instead of the 38-lead EPTSSOP, requiring PCB layout revision but offering improved thermal resistance (34°C/W vs. 29°C/W) and smaller footprint. ISL6422BEVEZ remains supported for existing production builds via Aetrix Electronics' legacy inventory and cross-qualified sourcing channels.
How does ISL6422BEVEZ implement DiSEqC tone decoding and what pins are involved?
ISL6422BEVEZ decodes incoming 22kHz DiSEqC tone signals via TDIN1 and TDIN2 pins, which connect to VOUT through a 10nF decoupling capacitor. The internal tone decoder accepts 17.5–26.5kHz input, with programmable thresholds (200mV for Rx, 450mV for Tx) controlled by TXT1/TXT2 logic levels. Detection results appear on open-drain TDOUT1/TDOUT2 outputs and are also reported in SR1/SR5 I²C status registers as OLF1/OLF2 flags.
Can ISL6422BEVEZ drive LNBs requiring 14V and 19V simultaneously?
Yes - ISL6422BEVEZ supports asymmetric output configuration: VOUT1 can be set to 14.3V (VBOT1=1) while VOUT2 is set to 19.3V (VTOP2=1), both simultaneously active. This is achieved via independent I²C control of SR4 (VTOP1/VBOT1) and SR8 (VTOP2/VBOT2) registers, or by combining SELVTOP pin states with VSPEN bit settings per Table 1 in FN6486. Each channel delivers up to 750mA continuously.
What protection features does ISL6422BEVEZ provide against reverse polarity or miswired LNB cables?
ISL6422BEVEZ includes output backward leakage current monitoring: it tolerates up to 27V reverse bias on VOUT pins and detects reverse current exceeding 140mA for >2ms. Upon detection, it enters dynamic back-current limit mode (ON=2ms/OFF=50ms), sets BCF1/BCF2 status bits, and clamps output voltage - preventing damage while allowing automatic recovery when fault is removed. This protects against common field-installation errors like swapped coaxial cables.
Is ISL6422BEVEZ compatible with 3.3V I²C systems and what address options are available?
Yes - ISL6422BEVEZ supports 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V logic levels on SDA/SCL pins and operates up to 400kHz in fast-mode I²C. Its slave address is 000100XX (hex 0x24–0x27), with ADDR0 and ADDR1 pins selecting among four unique addresses. This allows up to four ISL6422BEVEZ devices on the same bus - essential for multi-tuner or modular satellite receiver designs requiring independent LNB control.
