The STI8036 LNB Power Supply & Control Voltage Regulator IC (SOP-8) is a monolithic boost converter and linear regulator that powers a satellite dish LNB (low-noise block downconverter) from a set-top box or satellite receiver. It supplies the switched 14V/19V rail and 22kHz tone signal used to select LNB polarity and band.
Key features:
- Dual Output Voltage: Switches between a regulated 14V and 19V output to select LNB polarity.
- 22kHz Tone Injection: Generates the 22kHz tone signal used for LNB band switching and DiSEqC-style control.
- Integrated Boost Converter: Combines a DC/DC boost stage with a low-noise linear regulator on a single chip.
- 500mA Output Current: Delivers enough current to power a standard single or twin LNB.
- Compact SOP-8 Package: Small surface-mount footprint drops directly into existing satellite receiver and STB PCB designs.
- Built-In Protection: Includes thermal shutdown and current-limit protection for reliable field operation.
A common repair and replacement part for satellite receivers, set-top boxes and satellite TV cards.
