Product details
Overview
LNBP15SP-TR from STMicroelectronics is a monolithic linear voltage regulator in PowerSO-10 package, designed to supply and control LNB downconverters via coaxial cable in dual-port satellite receivers. It delivers logic-selectable 13 V or 14 V (typ.) outputs at up to 650 mA, features factory-trimmed 22 kHz tone generation (±2 kHz tolerance), dynamic overload protection with 4.7 µF CEXT timing, and backward current limiting to 3 mA in stand-by mode.
For engineers reviewing the LNBP15SP-TR datasheet, LNBP15SP-TR pinout, LNBP15SP-TR application, or LNBP15SP-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-supply input switching (VCC1/VCC2), LLC-enabled +1 V line-length compensation, EXTM analog modulation support, and OLF open-collector diagnostic flag for real-time overcurrent monitoring in satellite front-end designs.
Technical Context
The LNBP15SP-TR implements parallel-interface LNB power control with two independent output ports (LNBA/LNBB) selected via OSEL, voltage set by VSEL (13/14 V), and line-length compensation enabled by LLC. Its internal dual-input supply switch automatically selects VCC1 (16 V min) for 13 V output or VCC2 (23 V min) for 14 V output to minimize power dissipation.
Dynamic overload protection operates with a 1200 ms typical cycle (toff + ton) using an external 4.7 µF capacitor on CEXT, while the OLF pin transitions from high-impedance to LOW during fault conditions. The integrated 22 kHz oscillator starts rapidly to support DiSEqC™ burst coding, and the MI-to-LNBA bypass switch enables slave operation in single-dish, dual-receiver systems when EN is low.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 13 V (typ.) or 14 V (typ.) selectable via VSEL and LLC pins; supports standard LNB bias and coaxial voltage-drop compensation. |
| Max Output Current | 650 mA (typ.); internally limited to protect against sustained short-circuit loads on LNBA/LNBB. |
| Tone Frequency | 22 kHz ±2 kHz (factory trimmed); no external components required for DiSEqC™ tone generation. |
| Backward Current Limit | 3 mA max in stand-by (EN = LOW); prevents reverse current flow from shared coaxial lines into the IC. |
| Overload Cycle Time | 1200 ms typical (toff + ton) with 4.7 µF CEXT; reduces thermal stress during persistent overloads. |
| Supply Input Range | VCC1: 15–25 V; VCC2: 22–25 V; automatic selection ensures optimal efficiency per output voltage setting. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150 °C junction temperature; protects die integrity under sustained high-power dissipation. |
Pinout & Package
LNBP15SP-TR is housed in a surface-mount PowerSO-10 package (10-pin, exposed die pad), optimized for thermal performance (RthJC = 2 °C/W) and space-constrained satellite receiver PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC1 | Primary supply input | 15–25 V source; selected automatically when 13 V output is configured. |
| VCC2 | Secondary supply input | 22–25 V source; selected automatically when 14 V output is configured. |
| LNBA | Main LNB output port | Delivers regulated 13/14 V to first LNB; connects to MI in stand-by for slave operation. |
| VSEL | Voltage selection control | Logic input determining base output voltage (L = 13 V, H = 18 V - but LNBP15SP-TR only supports 13/14 V). |
| EN | Enable/disable control | Active-HIGH logic input; disables both outputs and limits backward current to ≤3 mA when LOW. |
| ENT | Tone enable input | Activates internal 22 kHz oscillator; fast start-up enables DiSEqC™ burst encoding. |
| CEXT | Overload timing capacitor | Connects to GND; sets 1200 ms typical fault cycle time (e.g., 4.7 µF yields tOFF ≈ 1100 ms). |
| EXTM | Analog modulation input | AC-coupled interface for external signal modulation of output voltage (gain = 5 V/V, BW = 10 Hz–40 kHz). |
| OLF | Overload diagnostic flag | Open-collector output; pulls LOW during overcurrent or thermal fault, remains high-impedance otherwise. |
| GND | Power and signal reference | Internally connected to die frame; provides thermal path and circuit common for all functions. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-supply input auto-selection | Reduces power dissipation by routing VCC1 (16 V min) for 13 V output or VCC2 (23 V min) for 14 V output. |
| Factory-trimmed 22 kHz oscillator | ±2 kHz accuracy eliminates need for external tuning components and simplifies DiSEqC™ compliance. |
| Dynamic overload protection | Self-resetting cycle (toff/ton) with external CEXT sets fault response timing without latching shutdown. |
| Backward current blocking | ≤3 mA leakage in stand-by mode enables safe coexistence on shared coaxial distribution networks. |
| Line-length compensation (LLC) | +1 V boost to nominal output voltage compensates for coaxial cable IR drop in long-run installations. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LNBP14SP-TR | Fixed 13 V output (no LLC compensation); identical pinout and protection features. | Lacks +1 V line-length compensation; suitable only for short coaxial runs (<15 m). | Select when system-level voltage drop is negligible and BOM simplification is prioritized. |
| LNBP16SP-TR | Supports 18/19 V outputs instead of 13/14 V; same PowerSO-10 package and feature set. | Required for universal LNBs needing higher bias voltage; incompatible with 13 V-only legacy LNBs. | Choose for new designs targeting wide LNB compatibility, especially in regions using 18 V standard. |
Compared with LNBP14SP-TR, LNBP15SP-TR adds LLC-based +1 V compensation for longer cable runs, while LNBP16SP-TR shifts the voltage range upward to 18/19 V - making LNBP15SP-TR the optimal choice for mid-length coaxial deployments requiring 13/14 V flexibility and diagnostic visibility.

FAQ
What is the function of the LLC pin on LNBP15SP-TR?
The LLC (Line Length Compensation) pin enables a +1 V boost to the nominal output voltage (e.g., 13 V → 14 V) to offset IR drop across long coaxial cables. When LLC is driven HIGH, the regulated output increases by approximately 1 V, maintaining sufficient bias voltage at the LNB input under real-world cabling conditions.
How does the OLF pin behave during an overload event?
During overcurrent or thermal overload, the OLF pin transitions from high-impedance to LOW (≤0.5 V at 8 mA sink), providing a direct diagnostic signal to the host MCU. After the fault clears, OLF returns to high-impedance automatically - no software reset is required, enabling autonomous recovery in unattended systems.
Can LNBP15SP-TR operate with only one supply voltage?
Yes - both VCC1 and VCC2 can be connected to a common 23 V source. While this increases power dissipation slightly compared to dual-supply operation, it simplifies power design and maintains full functionality including voltage selection, tone generation, and protection features without performance degradation.
What is the purpose of the EXTM pin and how is it used?
The EXTM pin accepts AC-coupled analog modulation signals (up to 400 mVPP, 10 Hz–40 kHz) to superimpose low-frequency control data onto the DC LNB supply. A series DC-blocking capacitor is mandatory; unused EXTM may be left floating. This enables proprietary remote control protocols beyond standard DiSEqC™.
