Description
This product evaluation board implements a DCDC converter based on the LNBH29 device used to power LNB inside dish antennas which receive satellite TV signals. The LNBH29 is an integrated solution for supplying/interfacing satellite LNB modules in accordance with international standards, offering a complete solution for singletuner satellite receivers and good performance at low cost using few external components. The LNBH29 evaluation board includes an I2C bus interface and the internal 22 kHz tone generator (factory trimmed) is controlled by the DSQIN pin (TTL compatible), permitting immediate DiSEqC™ data encoding. A fully integrated stepup DC-DC converter allows operation with a single input voltage supply source ranging from 8 V to 17.5 V.
