Energy efficient voltage regulators save
space
Intersil has announced the ISL6422B and ISL6423B LNB supply and control voltage regulators, which save space and improve system reliability.
Intersil has announced the ISL6422B and ISL6423B LNB supply and control voltage regulators These compact and energy efficient regulators are the industry's first to use an I2C interface to improve system reliability by reporting diagnostics and protecting a satellite set top box (SSTB) against overvoltage, overcurrent, over temperature and backward current

Intersil's ISL317XE nine-member family of 3.3V RS-485/RS-422 transceivers saves 50-70% of valuable board space.
High performance LDO regulator for stable power
Regulator combines superior PSRR (power supply rejection ratio) for stability, and low noise for integration, making it ideally suited for GSM portable wireless applications.
With a supply current of 4.0mA, a standby current of just 1.5mA, and a typical dropout voltage of 0.8V, these devices deliver superior power dissipation performance.
The input voltage range of 8V to 14V also provides enhanced design flexibility, allowing designers to utilise the existing power rail in most SSTBs.
The ISL6422B and ISL6423B save board space in many ways.
Firstly, the package size is smaller than competitive devices.
Additionally, the 440kHz switching frequency enables the use of smaller capacitors and inductors.
The devices also have internal error feedback loop compensation that eliminates the need for two capacitors and one resistor.
The ISL6422B (dual output) has five current range settings up to 750mA and the ISL6423B (single output) has four current range settings up to 750mA.
This enables SSTB manufacturers to design systems to their specific power budget needs.
These devices feature remote device control and FLT-bar interrupt pin.
Both the devices feature a built-in tone oscillator factory trimmed to 22kHz and a decoder that facilitates the use of DiSEqC 2.0 (Eutelsat) protocol.
An external modulation input also allows the DiSEqC modulation of an externally generated tone protocol, be it the envelope or a 22kHz modulated stream.
