8281/8282
Power Dissipation.
The power dissipated and
operating junction temperature of the 8281 and 8282 can be
estimated to ensure the device operates within desired
thermal budget.
The total chip power is contributed by three components.

DiSEqC
TM
.
The 22khz tone is specified to be compatible
to coaxial cable bus standards available from
www.eutelsat.com
. The A8282 LNB output will be able to
drive the DiSEqC termination network. This terminator
typically consists of a 180uH inductor, used to pass the dc
current with minimal loss, and a 15 ohm parallel resistor to
provide the recommended source impedance at 22khz.
Unidirectional communication systems such as DiSEqC 1.0
do not need this termination and the LNB output can be
directly connected to the coaxial cable.
13V to 18V Transition
. The LNB output can be rapidly
switched between a high and low setting as a method of
receiver to LNB communication. The TCAP capacitor will
control the slew rate based on the RC charging.

TCAP
*
ln(V1/V2)
Small values of TCAP are used when the transition time is
desired to be less than a millisecond. In this case, the
minimum rise time is limited by the charge time of the
switching regulators output capacitor. This is dependent on
the LNB load current, peak current limit in the buck switch,
and the output amplitude change.
t
RISE
= C_bulk * (v2-v1)/(I_ave)
Where I_ave is the average current available to charge the
output capacitor and can be estimated by:
I_ave = 1.4A - I_load
Note that this is only a limitation due to the ability to charge
the output capacitor on a low to high change of the LNB
voltage. For high to low transitions, the output voltage will
be slew limited by TCAP.
The minimum value for TCAP should be 4.7nF.
