Product details
Overview
LNBH25LSPQR from STMicroelectronics is a monolithic LNB supply and control IC for satellite receiver front-ends, integrating a high-efficiency step-up DC-DC converter (93% @ 0.5 A), low-drop post-regulator, and I²C-controlled 13/18 V output with programmable 22 kHz tone generation. It delivers precise voltage selection across 15 levels, supports DiSEqC 1.x envelope or TTL tone encoding, and includes dynamic short-circuit protection and ±4 kV ESD tolerance on VOUT for antenna cable interface.
For engineers reviewing the LNBH25LSPQR datasheet, LNBH25LSPQR pinout, LNBH25LSPQR application, or LNBH25LSPQR equivalent, key selection criteria include I²C-configurable output voltage/current limits, integrated 22 kHz tone integrity at no-load, soft-start timing (4–6 ms), thermal/overload diagnostics via status registers, and QFN24L (4×4 mm) package compatibility with satellite STB PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LNBH25LSPQR implements a two-stage power architecture: a PWM-based boost converter (VCC = 8–16 V → VUP) feeding an ultra-low-drop linear regulator (VUP → VOUT), maintaining VUP−VOUT ≈ 1 V typ. to minimize dissipation. Its I²C interface (7-bit address selectable via ADDR pin) provides full register-level control of output voltage (4-bit VSEL), tone mode (EXTM/TEN bits), current limit (via ISEL resistor), and protection behavior (PCL, OLR, THERM).
DiSEqC signaling is supported through three configurable paths: internal tone generator (TEN=1, EXTM=0), external 22 kHz TTL input (EXTM=1), or DiSEqC envelope modulation on DSQIN. Protection logic latches diagnostic flags (OTF, OLF, PNG) in Status1 register until cleared by read operation, enabling robust fault logging in embedded satellite receivers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

| Max Output Current | 750 mA typical; set externally via resistor on ISEL pin (ILIM = 750 mA / RSEL(kΩ) × 10). |
| Step-up Efficiency | 93% typical at 0.5 A load; enables single 12 V supply operation with <0.5 W dissipation. |
| Tone Generation | Factory-trimmed 22 kHz waveform; rise/fall time and amplitude internally controlled; no-load integrity guaranteed. |

Pinout & Package
Package: QFN24L (4 × 4 mm, 0.5 mm pitch), thermally enhanced with exposed power pad (PGND-connected). Pin 4 (PGND) and pins 2,15,18,19,23 (GND) must be soldered to the exposed pad for optimal thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 3 (LX) | NMOS drain | Switch node of integrated 100 V/1.5 A power NMOS; connects to boost inductor and flyback diode. |

| 20 (VOUT) | LNB output port | Final regulated 13/18 V output with superimposed 22 kHz tone; ±4 kV ESD protected. |
| 21 (VUP) | Boost output | Intermediate rail fed to LDO pass transistor; monitored to maintain 1 V dropout for efficiency. |
| 22 (DSQIN) | Tone/envelope input | Configurable as TTL 22 kHz input or DiSEqC envelope signal; function determined by EXTM/TEN bits. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated boost + LDO architecture | Eliminates external pass transistor and discrete boost controller; reduces BOM count by ≥7 components. |
| Programmable 22 kHz tone activation | Three independent modes (internal generator, external TTL, DiSEqC envelope) enable flexible DiSEqC 1.x compliance. |
| Dynamic short-circuit protection | Pulsed current limiting (TON=90 ms / TOFF=900 ms) reduces average power dissipation during sustained faults. |
| I²C diagnostic register access | Status1 register provides real-time OTF, OLF, and PNG flags; latched until cleared by read operation. |
| Soft-start timing control | Fixed 4 ms (0→13 V) and 6 ms (0→18 V) ramp prevents inrush current; eliminates need for external soft-start circuitry. |
Applications
| Digital Satellite Set-Top Box (STB) | Hybrid TV-Satellite Receiver |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX2181AETE+ | Single 13/18 V output; no integrated boost converter - requires external 20 V supply; 22 kHz tone generated internally but lacks DiSEqC envelope mode. | Best suited for designs with existing high-voltage rail; lacks dynamic short-circuit protection and I²C diagnostic registers. | Select when board already provides ≥20 V and simplicity outweighs diagnostic capability. |
| LM48530SQ/NOPB | Integrated boost + LDO; 92% efficiency @ 0.5 A; supports 22 kHz tone but only via internal generator - no external TTL or envelope input. | Compatible for basic LNB powering but cannot interface with legacy DiSEqC envelope sources or external tone generators. | Choose when DiSEqC 1.x envelope compatibility is not required and cost is prioritized over flexibility. |
Compared with MAX2181AETE+ and LM48530SQ/NOPB, the LNBH25LSPQR uniquely combines integrated boost conversion, triple-mode 22 kHz input support, and comprehensive I²C-accessible diagnostics - making it the only option supporting full DiSEqC 1.x interoperability in space-constrained satellite receiver designs.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LNBH25LSPQR startup?
The LNBH25LSPQR incorporates an undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit that disables all functions until VCC rises above 4.7 V (typical). Operation begins at ~4.8 V, at which point the I²C interface becomes active and registers initialize to zero. Below this threshold, the device draws <10 µA and ignores I²C commands.
How is the 22 kHz tone waveform integrity maintained at no-load condition?
The LNBH25LSPQR uses an internally trimmed oscillator and dedicated output stage to ensure 22 kHz tone amplitude, rise/fall time, and duty cycle remain within DiSEqC specifications even with zero load on VOUT. This is verified across process/voltage/temperature corners and does not rely on external loading for stability.
Can the LNBH25LSPQR drive multiple LNBs simultaneously?
No - the LNBH25LSPQR is designed for single-LNB operation with a maximum output current of 750 mA. Driving multiple LNBs would exceed its current capability and compromise thermal safety margins. For multi-LNB systems, one IC per LNB or a dedicated multi-output controller like the LNBH26 is required.
What external components are mandatory for basic operation?
Mandatory components include: (1) LX-to-GND boost inductor (10 µH typical), (2) VUP-to-GND ceramic capacitor (10 µF), (3) VBYP-to-GND ceramic capacitor (1 µF), (4) ISEL-to-GND resistor (for current limit), and (5) SCL/SDA pull-up resistors (4.7 kΩ). The DSQIN and ADDR pins may be left unconnected if default functionality suffices.
