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 is provided with the EXTM analog modulation input pin to be connected to an external 22 kHz DiSEqC tone source. The tone output waveform depends on the characteristics of the external signal provided by the EXTM pin. A fully integrated step-up DC-DC converter allows operation with a single input voltage supply source ranging from 8 V to 17.5 V.
