Overview

  • 8-Input-to-4-Output Matrix Switch
  • Expandable to 16 Inputs with Cascade Master/Slave Option
  • 950MHz to 2150MHz Operation
  • Greater than 30dB Switch Isolation
  • 0/+6/+12dB Input Stage Gain Selection to Compensate for Splitter Insertion Loss
    • Gain Step for All Input Stages Is Commonly Controlled Through an Analog Select Pin
  • Four Integrated DiSEqC 2.0 Decoders with Integrated Oscillator
  • Alternate Tone/Voltage Detection
  • ESD Protected to 2kV HBM

The MAX12005 satellite IF switch IC is designed for multi-user applications supporting two quad universal low-noise blocks (LNBs) to be matrix switched to four satellite receivers. The system can be easily expanded to accept 16 satellite IF inputs using the cascade option and one additional satellite IF switch IC. A configuration of eight satellite IF inputs to eight satellite receivers is also possible by using two ICs and adding eight input splitters. The insertion loss of these splitters can be compensated by a +6dB or +12dB input gain select.

There are two ways to control the switch function. Each IC contains four DiSEqC™ 2.0 decoders and four alternate tone/voltage decoders. The decoders use an integrated trimmed oscillator, simplifying the MAX12005 implementation into any system. There are four operational modes, which include LNB mode (for use within the LNB), cascade master mode, cascade slave mode, and single mode.

The satellite IF switch is designed on an advanced SiGe process and is available in a lead-free 48-pin TQFN surface-mount package (7mm x 7mm).

Applications

Evaluation Kit for the MAX12005

Features and Benefits

  • USB Interface to Host PC
  • Easy-to-Use GUI Software
  • 75Ω to 50Ω On-Board Impedance Transformation Network at All Ports
  • Fully Assembled and Tested

Product Details

The MAX12005 evaluation kit (EV kit) provides a proven PCB layout that facilitates evaluation of the MAX12005 satellite switch RFIC. The EV kit is fully assembled and tested. A software control program with a graphical user interface (GUI) is available (see link below under Tools & Simulations), allowing full user control of the IC functions and settings.

The EV Kit has 75Ω RF lines. However, to make evaluation easy with standard 50Ω test equipment, there are 75Ω to 50Ω impedance transformation networks on-board at all input and output ports.

Applications

  • Direct Broadcast Satellite Receivers
  • L-Band Distribution
  • Satellite IF Distribution
