LNBP21

5/20

TYPICAL APPLICATION CIRCUIT

(*) Set to GND if not used

not implemented (see DiSEqC implementation note)

(***) IC2 is a ST Fettky, STS4DNFS30L, that includes both the schottky diode and the N-Channel Mos-Fet, needed for the DC/DC converter,

in a So-8 package. It can be replaced by a schottky diode (STPS2L3A or similar) and a N-Channel Mos-Fet (STN4NF03L or similar)

Data transmission from main µP to the LNBP21

and viceversa takes place through the 2 wires I2C

bus interface, consisting of the two lines SDA and

SCL (pull-up resistors to positive supply voltage

must be externally connected).

DATA VALIDITY

As shown in fig. 1, the data on the SDA line must

be stable during the high period of the clock. The

HIGH and LOW state of the data line can only

change when the clock signal on the SCL line is

LOW.

START AND STOP CONDITIONS

As shown in fig.2 a start condition is a HIGH to

LOW transition of the SDA line while SCL is HIGH.

The stop condition is a LOW to HIGH transition of

the SDA line while SCL is HIGH. A STOP

condi-tions must be sent before each START

condition.

BYTE FORMAT

Every byte transferred to the SDA line must

contain 8 bits. Each byte must be followed by an

ac-knowledge bit. The MSB is transferred first.

ACKNOWLEDGE

The master (µP) puts a resistive HIGH level on the

SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse (see

fig.

3).

The

peripheral

(LNBP21)

that

acknowledges has to pull-down (LOW) the SDA

line during the acknowledge clock pulse, so that

the SDA line is stable LOW during this clock pulse.

The peripheral which has been addressed has to

generate an acknowledge after the reception of

each byte, other-wise the SDA line remains at the

HIGH level during the ninth clock pulse time. In

this case the master transmitter can generate the

STOP information in order to abort the transfer.

The LNBP21 won't gen-erate the acknowledge if

the Vcc supply is below the Undervoltage Lockout

threshold (6.7V typ.).

TRANSMISSION WITHOUT ACKNOWLEDGE

Avoiding to detect the acknowledge of the

LNBP21, the µP can use a simpler transmission:

simply it waits one clock without checking the

slave acknowledging, and sends the new data.

This approach of course is less protected from

misworking and decreases the noise immunity.
